Harrisburg man who dragged woman into an alley and raped her wasn’t punished too harshly: Pa. court
Updated Feb 23, 2021;
A Harrisburg man who was caught in the act of raping a woman in a dark downtown alley wasn’t punished too harshly with a 16- to 40- year prison sentence, a state Superior Court panel has ruled.
That decision came more than two years after police said Curtis Govan Jr., now 24, brutally attacked the woman, a stranger, as she walked home alone from a bar on North Second Street early on the morning of Oct. 6, 2018.
A passerby saw the attack and called city police. When officers arrived, Govan tried to force the woman to say she was his girlfriend and that she was willingly making out with him. Police said that when the woman said she had been raped they had to use a Taser to place Govan under arrest.
Ex-federal cop who tried to kill man with hammer loses appeal of decades-long jail term
Updated Feb 03, 2021;
A former federal police officer convicted of attempted murder for beating another man with a hammer lost his appeal of his 20-to 40-year prison sentence Tuesday.
Instead, a state Superior Court panel rejected Eric Piper’s claims that he was the subject of an illegal search by police and that statements by his wife were improperly used against him during his Cumberland County trial nearly two years ago.
Police said Piper, who was a civilian officer with the Defense Logistics Agency police at New Cumberland Army Depot at the time, broke into the victim’s Carlisle-area home in January 2018, beat the 29-year-old man repeatedly with the hammer and kicked him in his jaw and ribs.
