OIL CITY, Pa. (EYT) – An Oil City man who allegedly had inappropriate sexual contact with a teen girl will face a preliminary hearing on Wednesday afternoon.

According to court documents, on Wednesday, November 29, at 1:30 p.m., 46-year-old Matthew R. Bialo, of Oil City, will appear in Venango County Central Court on the following charges:

– Indecent Assault-W/O Consent Of Other, Misdemeanor 2
– Corruption of Minors, Misdemeanor 1

Unable to post $15,000.00 monetary bail, Bialo remains lodged in the Venango County Jail.

According to a criminal complaint filed by Oil City Police Patrolman Robert Culp, Bialo is accused of subjecting a known 16-year-old female to unwanted sexual contact.

The incident allegedly occurred sometime between 9:30 p.m. on November 11 and 1:30 a.m. on November 12.

During an interview with police, the victim stated that Bialo placed his hand on her genitals, the complaint indicates.

The victim then left the room and did not return, according to the criminal complaint.

The criminal complaint states that Bialo told police “he had done nothing wrong and had no contact with the minor.”

Bialo was taken into custody and transported to the Oil City Police Department.

“While being placed into the holding cell, without provocation, (Bialo) stated that he had been drinking that night and could not recall anything that happened,” said Patrolman Culp in the criminal complaint.

According to the criminal complaint, Bialo told police he “had no idea” why he was being arrested.
