Former Pa. commissioner charged with indecent assault for groping 103-year-old woman in nursing home

A former Pennsylvania commissioner was arrested and charged with three counts of indecent assault on a person with a mental disability after police said he groped a 103-year-old woman with dementia.

Bill Spingler, a 75-year-old Chester County resident who previously served as a commissioner in Radnor Township and Delaware County, is accused of touching the victim's breasts during three visits this month, according to court documents.

Staff at Wayne Nursing Home in Delaware County observed the incidents on Dec. 15, 17 and 23, Radnor police said.

Police were first called to the nursing home on Dec. 16 for reports of an assault after two employees said Spingler put his hand under a blanket and touched the victim's breasts.
