The Centre County District Attorney’s Office has provided an update on a sexual abuse investigation that led to the arrest of three Tyrone men. Investigators, pursuing leads related to the case of 67-year-old Samuel Friday, who was charged last week, made two additional arrests. Video evidence reviewed by authorities allegedly depicted 66-year-old Michael Woomer, and 64-year-old Morris Reese, engaging in sexual conduct with minors, and that’s according to Josh Andrews, Centre County’s First Assistant District Attorney. Andrews stated there is reason to believe Friday had been bringing underage teenagers, primarily from Blair County, to his basement for sexual activity, possibly dating back to the 1990s. Reportedly, in the coming days all three will be facing amended charges that include human trafficking and child pornography. All three remain at the Centre County Prison where bail has been denied. You are being asked that if you were a victim in this case to call state police at Rockview, or the Centre County DA’s office. This investigation is ongoing.
