Man Broke Into Ex-Girlfriend's Upper Moreland Home, Raped Her: DA

UPPER MORELAND, PA — A man has been arrested after breaking into his ex-girlfriend's home in Upper Moreland and sexually assaulting her, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.

David Kelly Jr., 34, of Philadelphia faces numerous charges, including rape, burglary, stalking, sexual assault, and related counts.

The incident occurred on March 18 in the Hatboro section of the township.

Kelly and the victim had been in a relationship for around two years, according to an affidavit of probable cause, before breaking up in Dec. 2019.

Kelly continued to call and text her despite the victim telling him that the relationship was over, police said.

At around 2:30 a.m. that morning, Kelly went up a ladder onto the roof of her home, hopped onto a balcony, and entered via the balcony door, police said.

Once he was inside he locked her in a bedroom with him and sexually assaulted her, telling her he was going to "impregnate her," according to the affidavit.

The victim later told police that she told the man "no" more than forty times during the assault, police said.

Bail was set at 10 percent of $500,000, which Kelly was unable to post. He was booked at Montgomery County Correctional Facility. A preliminary hearing is set for April 6.
