A Pennsylvania man has been arrested for having sex with a fourteen year old girl, with whom he has fathered two children.  In addition, there were 11 more young girls living in the house with him.  Two of them are his children fathered with the 14 year old, whom he impregnated when she was 14 and again at 17.  Lee Kaplan had befriended the girl’s parents, Daniel Stoltzfus, 43, and his wife Savilla Stoltzfus, 42, and in return, they gifted their 14 year old daughter to Kaplan.  At the time of Kaplan’s arrest the Stoltzfuses were living in his home ,too.  They were also arrested and they listed their address as being 75 miles away.

Police have not released information on the the other girls but speculation is that they are all daughters of the  Stoltzfuses.  There is no information on whether Kaplan was abusing any of the other girls and neighbors say that Kaplan and the mother of his children, now age 18, were living as man and wife.  None of the girls attended school and a neighbor reported Kaplan after noticing that all of the windows were boarded up.  Kaplan was arrested and charged with ten counts of various sexual offenses, eight of them felonies, including statutory rape and aggravated indecent assault.

The Stoltzfuses were also charged.  Daniel has been charged with conspiracy to commit statutory sexual assault. Both he and Savilla Stoltzfus are also charged with endangering the welfare of children.  All three are being held on 1 million dollar bails.

From The Daily Mail:

Jen Bets, the neighbor who made the call to child services, told NBC Philadelphia that there were ‘signs’ something was wrong in the house.

‘(She was) too young to be the wife, too old to be holding his hand,’ said Bets, who had seen Kaplan walking down the street with girls, sometimes holding hands with one of them. 

‘I just want them to get help and get back and be happy,’ she said. ‘They’re so sad and fearful every time I see them. That’s what made me call.’
