Former Gettysburg mayor arrested on child sex abuse charges weeks after resignation

A former Pennsylvania mayor is facing child sex offense charges two weeks after resigning his position after being in office for less than a month after allegedly grooming a boy while volunteering in the theater community. 

Chad Alan-Carr resigned just two weeks into his term as mayor of Gettysburg in what he described as personal matters unrelated to city business. 

Carr, 48, is charged with felony counts of sexual abuse of children and criminal solicitation to commit sexual abuse of children and a misdemeanor count of corruption of minors, according to court records.
