David L. Dixon - Repeat Sex Offender - Pedophile

A convicted sex offender was found guilty again yesterday by an Allegheny County jury for sexually assaulting two more children.

David L. Dixon, 43, was convicted on eight of nine counts related to assaults against a 5-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy. He also was convicted of criminal solicitation for trying from jail to bribe the boy's mother to drop the charges.

A sentencing date has not been set.

The case was brought to authorities' attention in February 2007 when the young girl told two women in the bathroom of the North Park Clubhouse in Richland that her friend "Dave" had assaulted her. Mr. Dixon fled the scene and was arrested a month later.

The young boy had been assaulted a year earlier, but came forward to testify after Mr. Dixon's arrest.

In 2000, Mr. Dixon was convicted in Clearfield County of sexually assaulting another child. He was sentenced to one to three years in prison.
