State police said a Port Matilda man was arrested and charged with repeatedly raping two young girls.

According to a criminal complaint, 20-year-old Elijah Weaver assaulted the girls for a number of years.

Police said Weaver would take the girls to a barn and campground area and force them to perform several different sexual acts.

The victims told police Weaver would grab them and tell them not to move, the complaint said.

According to the complaint, the girls showed officers on a picture chart what Weaver would make them do.

Police interviewed Weaver on Wednesday, where they said he admitted to having sex with the victims. Authorities did not say if the girls were related or how they knew Weaver.

Court documents show Weaver is being held at the Centre County Jail on a $250,000 bail on charges of rape of a child, aggravate assault and more.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 1.
