A Bridgeville man with a lengthy criminal record is accused of molesting a 3-year-old girl at his Prestley Road home last month.
A Bridgeville man with a lengthy criminal record is accused of molesting a 3-year-old girl at his Prestley Road home last month.
Allegheny County police accused 27-year-old Russell K. Forrest III of fondling the girl and causing injuries to her genitals.
Investigators charged Forrest with indecent assault, aggravated indecent assault, corruption of minors, simple assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
Forrest’s girlfriend said she noticed blood in the girl’s underwear on Aug. 14 and went to their family doctor, according to a criminal complaint supporting his arrest. They later went to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh and physicians there said they found trauma consistent with an assault, according to the complaint.
According to the complaint, the girl also told doctors interviewing her that “Daddy hurt me.”
Police interviewed Forrest and he gave them several accounts of why the girl was injured and why they found blood in her underwear. Police said he told them that he thought the injuries might have occurred when he wiped her too hard while drunk and high on drugs. Police said he later told them he might have accidentally poked her with his fingers while trying to catch her when she fell from the toilet.
Investigators, however, said those explanations were inconsistent with the injuries and the girl’s interview with police.
Allegheny County police filed charges on Aug. 30, but could not find Forrest. He was later found at his Prestley Road residence on Sept. 3 and arrested by Bridgeville police.
During the search, officers said they found him in possession of a syringe. While at the Allegheny County Jail, police said they found drugs hidden in his clothes and inside his body.
Bridgeville police added numerous drug charges.

Cmon red what other proof do you need? This monster hurt a pure innocent little girl. What if that was your daughter, this douchebag will get what's coming to him. And how can you sit there and defend him. No child should ever have to go thru this, what makes it that much more disturbing is that was her daddy.

Just like all the other white trash moms out there. Leave your child alone with a drug addict who molests her and then defend HIM. Unbelievable. You should be ashamed of yourself. That's your daughter, the most precious thing in your life.

Some people spend their whole lives trying to have babies, to love, cherish, and PROTECT. Then there's parents like this-scum of the earth. Now this poor little angel had her innocence taken away by some junkie loser waste of life. And as far as the mom, shame on you. I am totally disqusted.

This man and Sandusky should share a jail cell. They then should be welcomed into the shower with Big Bubba. They'll have a GREAT time!
I hope this sick sick man gets what he deserves. The mother needs a swift kick. What LOVING mother would do that. She needs locked up too for child endangerment

Should cyf get involved? Well lets see... Sound s like the mom is a good judge of character. Police found a syringe, hmmm, maybe he's a diabetic and not a heroin addict, ok seems reasonable. Drugs in his clothes...Well maybe he had on a friends pair of cargo pants and didnt know. Drugs inside his body...Thats going to be a tough one to explain. In fact that kind of ruins my conspiracy theory too. So, just where "inside" his body were these drugs?? Ouch!! Maybe he's a scum bag???

I've known RJ for years...he's not a bad person...he is a drug addict, but I have never seen anything that would lead me to believe he was capable of something like this - unfortunately, I also know all too well that drugs will make you do things you never dreamed you would do...I don't know what to say RJ, I can only hope they're wrong about you

I've been pretty close to this guy since we were kids. Yeah he was a drug addict, prostituted himself for drug money, was absolutely morally challenged, but he was one of the least aggressive people ever, very generous with what little he had. He has been trying to clean up his act all this year since he got put on suboxone. I know for a fact he wasn't shooting drugs because his scars were healed up and when you're on subs you can't get high from heroin, it will only make u sick if u try. The syringe they found was probably laying around his house from a previous time. Drugs they found "inside him" were probably the suboxone which he is prescribed. They probably didn't let him bring it so he hid it. Still... his home was definitely not a place for a 3 year old, and the mother dating him should have never got involved in his life. He is absolutely unpredictable and impulsive. But I just want to say he wasn't an all out monster, what little humanity was in him is probably going to leave now that he is going to be in jail for a while. And no he didn't like gay sex, but I'm sure he's gonna half to start. He did do gay stuff for money when he was on H. But while not on H he ended up fingering a little girl supposedly. Part of her hymen was missing. I'm friends with this guy, maybe his only friend... If he really did this, he deserves to be where he is. Should've went to rehab again a long time ago u idiot.
