A 33-year-old State College man was ordered to stand trial yesterday by District Magistrate Robert Shoff on a charge of indecent assault.
According to court records, the defendant allegedly rubbed his daughter in the vaginal area while she was sleeping some time between Oct. 4 and Oct. 10.
The seventh-grader testified that she woke up at 2 or 3 a.m., and her father was there.
"I was kind of scared. I really didn't know what was going on," she said.
The girl also testified that a couple of weeks later her father talked to her about the incident and said he had touched her several times before. He told the victim that he is not her real father, she said.
The victim also testified that in the same conversation, the defendant asked her if she wanted to learn to perform oral sex. He told her it is an Italian tradition for a mother to teach her son and for a father to teach his daughter, she said.
In other cases that appeared before Shoff yesterday:
-- A University student was ordered to stand trial for allegedly assaulting another student at a party at Gateway Center, 646 E. College Ave.
Ronald J. Calhoun of 818 Bellaire Ave. was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and simple assault stemming from an incident that occurred early in the morning on Jan. 17.
Mark Glusco, 112 Tener, testified that while he was at the party, he saw his former roommate, Joel Sherako, approach Calhoun and say "immigrants and faggots," the lyrics from a controversial Guns N' Roses song. The defendant responded by "headbutting" the victim, Glusco said.
-- University student Thomas A. Poliziani of 9 Geary was ordered to stand trial for allegedly stealing five road signs from the Borough of Green Tree, near Pittsburgh.
Poliziani was charged with receiving stolen property. University Police Services Officer Clarence Johnson testified that on Jan. 21, he found a stop sign, a deer crossing sign, a bump sign and a men at work sign in the defendant's dorm room.
