Young girl allegedly assaulted by man: Christopher Prisk, 21, of 918 Old Boalsburg Road, remains in Centre County Prison on $10,000 bail on charges of endangering the welfare of children, recklessly endangering another and possessing an instrument of crime.

According to court records, Prisk allegedly struck the 3-year-old victim on the head, shoulders and chest with a paint stirrer wrapped in duct tape. The incident took place Feb. 24 at 901 West Aaron Drive.
