Crystal Roberston, Shane Robertson (Pennridge Regional Police Department)
Pennsylvania parents of seven children were already facing serious child endangerment charges following the discovery of their house of horrors months ago, but now the suspects have to contend with new assault charges filed by the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.
The new charges filed on Sept. 25 — two days before Shane Robertson turned 48 years old and roughly one month after Crystal Roberston turned 38 years old — stem from interviews of children JV1 (a 16-year-old girl), JV2 (a 14-year-old girl), JV3 (a 12-year-old girl), JV4 (a 10-year-old girl), JV5 (an 8-year-old girl), JV6 (a 6-year-old boy), and JV7 (a 4-year-old girl), in the aftermath of their April 23 rescue from the Sellersville trailer park home.
JV1, the eldest child, allegedly told authorities that her father punched her in the face back in February, bloodying her nose. When the victim tried to run away, Shane Robertson chased after her and dragged her back to the home by her hair in front of her siblings, the affidavit said.
JV2 said both Shane and Crystal Robertson “beat us up,” according to cops.
