BENSALEM, Pa. — A Bensalem man finds himself back in trouble with the law after he allegedly saw fit to teach an 8-year-old girl how to access pornography on her iPad.

According to a probable cause affidavit, the victim was brought to Bensalem police headquarters for a well-being check on Aug. 15, where she told police that her neighbor, Robert Girmscheid, 31, had told her to search for “Red Tube,” a pornographic site, on her iPad earlier in the month. She told police the same story five days later in a forensic interview with the department’s Special Victim’s Unit.

On Aug. 22, Girmscheid went to Bensalem police headquarters and took a polygraph test. While hooked up to the lie-detector test, he allegedly confessed to showing the girl how to look up “Red Tube.” He was arrested and charged on Friday with corruption of minors. Girmschield was previously arrested on simple assault and terroristic threats in January of this year, according to Pennsylvania court records. He’s had five other arrests in both Philadelphia and Bucks County going back to 2001, with the charges ranging from drug offenses to theft.
