Upper Moreland Man Gets Jail Time for Molesting Teens

An Upper Moreland man was sentenced Monday to 17 to 34 years in prison for sexually molesting three boys from 2001 through 2005.

Burt P. Ludin, 52, who used to reside on the 100 block of Krewson Terrace, pleaded guilty to three felony charges of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 13 and providing explicit sexual materials to minors.

The three boys were between the ages of 11 and 15 at the time of the incidents, according to court documents.

The first of a string of incidents was reported to Upper Dublin Police in 2010 when a 19-year-old claimed he was molested on multiple occasions when he was 11-years-old.

According to the district attorney's office, the 19-year-old accuser told authorities "at the age of 11, during a sleep over at Ludin's home, Ludin showed him pornography and masturbated in front of him."

Then, in October of 2011, a 20-year-old male and 22-year-old male also reported to the Upper Dublin Police Department that Ludin sexually assaulted them on multiple occasions over several years.

"The males reported that between the ages of 11 and 15, Ludin showed them pornography and inappropriately touched them," the release said. "The males also stated that Ludin would have the males touch him in an inappropriate manner."

Ludin has been in jail since his arrest on Oct. 13, 2011.
