Evan Weaver, 45, of Weisenberg, and Jason Michael Krasley, 47, of Upper Milford Township, are accused of sexually assaulting the same victim between 2011 and 2015, authorities said. The pair face felony charges of Rape and Involuntary Sexual Servitude, as well as Misdemeanor Indecent Assault, Official Oppression, Prostitution, and Related Offenses, according to the DA.
Weaver, a current Allentown Police officer, is also charged with Sexual Assault, a felony of the second degree, while Krasley, a former vice officer, faces additional counts of Kidnapping, Involuntary Deviate Sexual Intercourse, Intimidation of a Witness, and Criminal Coercion, the release states.
Both men were taken into custody and are awaiting arraignment at the Lehigh County Central Booking Center.
The charges stem from a long-running investigation by Lehigh County Detectives. While details of the alleged crimes remain sealed, the DA noted that the statute of limitations for the offenses is 20 years. If convicted, Weaver and Krasley could face maximum sentences of life in prison.
Krasley was previously charged on Nov. 15, 2024, with Felony Theft by Unlawful Taking, Receiving Stolen Property, and Tampering with Physical Evidence in a separate case. He remains free on $100,000 unsecured bail and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Jan. 29, court records show.
The Allentown Police Department confirmed that Sergeant Evan Weaver has been placed on administrative leave following the charges filed against him, according to a department statement released on Friday, Jan. 10.
Both men had previously received awards for their work around to previous Facebook posts by the department.
In the release about the charges, the department emphasized its commitment to conducting thorough internal investigations and stated it is fully cooperating with the Lehigh County District Attorney's Office and other investigative agencies. Former Officer Jason Krasley is no longer with the department. No further comments will be provided at this time, the release noted.
Both Weaver and Krasley are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law, Holihan emphasized.
The investigation is ongoing.
