A Pennsylvania man accused of raping four children over a span of decades “will be behind bars for the rest of his life,” the state’s attorney general announced.
Andrew Allamon, of Perry County, was found guilty in October of multiple counts of rape, unlawful contact with a minor, sexual assault, indecent assault of a child, and endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
Allamon’s conviction stemmed from years of him using his “relationships with the victims to carry out evil, disgusting acts,” Attorney General Dave Sunday previously said in a news release issued on October 31, 2025.
According to prosecutors, Allamon sexually abused victims while armed with a pocket knife.
He allegedly used the knife “during sex acts and in other apparent acts of cruelty,” against the minor victims, the state attorney general’s office said.
If the children “did not comply” with the abuse, Allamon allegedly beat them and forced punishments, including by locking victims inside dog kennels and making them “eat out of dog bowls,” according to prosecutors.
On Tuesday, March 10, a Perry County judge handed Allamon a sentence of 65.5 years to 131 years in prison in connection with four victims, the attorney general’s office said in a news release issued that same day.
“This defendant no longer presents a threat to anyone in our communities,” Sunday said in a statement.
“We hope the survivors who bravely testified at trial can take solace from this outcome and continue moving on with their lives,” Sunday added.
In an emailed statement to Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 11, Allamon’s defense attorney Shawn M. Stottlemyer said that “Mr. Allamon’s sentence, although not unexpected given the outcome of the trial, is very lengthy.”
“Mr. Allamon maintained his innocence throughout the Sentencing Hearing and looks forward to exercising his post-sentence and appellate rights,” Stottlemyer added.
After an investigation was launched by Pennsylvania State Police, criminal charges were filed against Allamon in September 2023 in connection with alleged sexual abuse beginning in 1990, according to police, the Daily Voice reported.
Allamon is accused of raping children as young as 5 and 9, investigators said, according to the outlet.
Before Allamon was convicted in October in connection with four victims, he was found guilty of unlawful touching and attempted indecent assault in connection with a fifth victim, according to the attorney general’s office.
In April 2025, he was sentenced to four to eight years in prison on those charges, the attorney general’s office said.
Perry County is about a 30-mile drive northwest from Harrisburg.
