JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Police say a western Pennsylvania man repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted two teen girls and taped the encounters using a camcorder.

Fifty-three-year-old Sanford Gunby, of Johnstown, remained jailed Tuesday on rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and other charges. He faces a preliminary hearing June 2.

Police say the incidents took place since January 2015 at his home and that he often gave the girls, ages 13 and 15, $20 or $25 after each incident.



Police say the girls were able to describe the recorder Gunby used, as well as a sex toy that police say they found at the scene.

Online court records don’t list an attorney for Gunby who has been unable to post $100,000 bond.
