Hearing Continued For Man Charged With Assault

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― The preliminary hearing for a Monroeville man accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl he met on MySpace was continued to a later date.

Alex Pimpinella, 21, of Blueberry Road, is charged with statutory sexual assault, indecent assault, rape and related charges.

He's accused of picking up the girl from Green Tree and taking her back to his parents' house in Monroeville where police say they had sex in the basement.

They sent each other emails for a month before the encounter. Investigators say the girl made it clear to Pimpinella that she was only 13.

The case was continued to December 28 because the district attorney did not produce all of the evidence against the suspect.

"It was important that we as the defense be able to examine some of the evidence that are apart of this investigation and that wasn't available to us today," Mike Moser, an attorney for Pimpinella, said.

He plans he will have all of the evidence in time for the continued hearing.
