Eric Beale - Repeat Sex Offender - Rapist

A registered sex offender is now being charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year old girl in Hagerstown.

Police say Eric Beale met the victim while she was a runaway.

The teen told police that Beale had offered to give her a ride and that she later went to a local motel with him.

That is where she says the alleged assault happened.

Beale was charged Tuesday with the crime but is already serving time for a parole violation.
