A 36-year-old Moon Township man was ordered to face indecent assault charges following a preliminary hearing held Tuesday in Magisterial District Court in Robinson Township.
Sean Michael Seretti is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 16 in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court on one count of felony aggravated indecent assault and one count of misdemeanor indecent assault in connection with an incident that county police say took place at a Robinson tattoo parlor in June.
Seretti was released from custody on nonmonetary bond following his original arraignment on July 2 and his custody status remains unchanged pending his Oct. 16 arraignment.
According to a criminal complaint filed by county police, Robinson police on June 6 requested the assistance of county police investigators regarding a reported sexual assault at a local tattoo establishment.
Based on witness interviews and additional evidence collected during the investigation, county police detectives determined that Seretti assaulted a female customer while administering a tattoo on June 5.
According to the complaint, the customer told police she had known the 6-foot-2, 300-pound Seretti for approximately 13 years and previously had received several other tattoos from him.
More than three hours into the procedure on June 5, the customer texted a friend that she had been sexually assaulted several times and that she wanted to run to her car. According to the complaint, the customer then told Seretti she needed to retrieve a hoodie from her car but instead got in and drove immediately to the Robinson police station to file a report.
On June 30, two county police detectives interviewed Seretti at his tattoo shop and determined that probable cause existed to file charges.
