‘Sexual predator’ accused of child rape, sexual assault in Bensalem: police

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, Pa. – Police say a tip from a “vigilante group” led to the arrest of a Pennsylvania man accused of raping and sexually abusing children.

Keith Page, 67, is charged with rape of a child under 13, child sexual abuse, corruption of minors and related crimes.

Bensalem police say they were made aware of Page after receiving a call from “Predator Poachers,” a group they say confronts alleged predators on camera “to promote their social media pages.”

One member of the group posed as an 11-year-old girl while having weeks of conversations with Page.

“Age is just a number,” Page reportedly said, acknowledging the girl’s age.

According to police, Page told the girl not to tell her mother until she exchanged explicit photos and agreed to meet her to have sex.

Before calling police, officials said the “Predator Poachers” went to Page’s home and confronted him on camera.

Page was arrested on $2,000,000 bail after police admitted to exchanging explicit photos and having sexually explicit conversations with the young girl.

Police have also issued a warning regarding groups such as the ‘Predator Poachers’.

“These types of internet confrontations have become violent and in the past have even resulted in the person confronted committing suicide. The Bensalem Township Police Department will not tolerate these types of confrontations and urges anyone with information regarding a possible child predator to call police before making contact so that the safety of all involved can be maintained and the prosecutorial integrity of these investigations can be maintained .”
