More charges have been made public in regards to what has been termed as a child sex ring that operated in Taylor Township, Centre County. Yesterday, the Centre County District Attorney’s office filed a motion to amend the criminal complaint against 67-year-old Samuel Friday of Tyrone, saying more charges against him are forth coming. Among the new allegations is a claim that Friday allegedly raped a juvenile female while she was pregnant, and had sex with her when she was only 14. In another incident he reportedly raped her, and then paid her after smoking meth. Friday, who is considered the alleged leader of the sex ring, is already facing charges that include human trafficking. Reportedly, authorities have found thousands of videos and photos dating back to the 90s. Over the weekend a fourth man was charged in this case, identified as James Kobuck of Tyrone. All four men are currently in the Centre County Prison.
