City of Warren police have filed charges against a Russell man – including a trafficking charge – from a reported 2016 incident.

Police filed the criminal complaint against Charles F. Kemery, 52, 2582 Priest Hollow Road, last week.

Police say in the affidavit of probable cause that a victim provided a written statement to police on Jan. 25.

The victim reported to police that she was visiting the Allegheny Book Mart when she was a teenager in 2016 when Kemery befriended her.

The victim said that, as they got to know one another, that Kemery would allegedly “ask her to pose for a picture with random items such as a medical human skull or pornographic DVDs,” the affidavit states, and would “speak to her about sexual things.”

She was back at the store the following year when Kemery allegedly “had her sit on his lap while viewing a pornographic magazine.” He then asked her to “wiggle” while she was on his lap. After, the victim said they shouldn’t have done that but said it excited him.

The victim reported to police, per the affidavit, that Kemery began touching her inappropriately and then asked if she would touch him.

“She declined,” the affidavit states. “(Kemery) then gave her $20, telling her not to tell anyone in fear of getting in trouble.” According to the criminal complaint, that’s the basis for the trafficking charge.

Online court records show that charges include trafficking in individuals, two counts of unlawful contact with a minor – sexual offenses, three counts of corruption of minors and two counts of indecent assault.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for next month.

Online court records also show that Kemery has an additional case before the Court of Common Pleas that includes, among 11 total counts, charges of statutory sexual assault and unlawful contact with a minor.
