SCRANTON, Pa. — The brothers of a former game shop owner in Lackawanna County are now charged with child sex abuse.
Rian and Damien Mancuso are accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl who was a customer at Adventure Games in Dickson City.
Former game shop owner Sean Mancuso of Dunmore is charged with sexually assaulting the same girl and another teen at the business in 2006.
All three brothers are accused of abusing the same girl.
A woman now in her 30s told investigators about the time she spent at Adventure Games in Dickson City when she was just a teen. She said there was a pervasive and perverted culture of abuse.
She says that starting when she was 14, she was sexually assaulted by the store's then-owner, Sean Mancuso and his two brothers, Damien and Rian Mancuso.
Damien and Rian both answered to those charges in Lackawanna County court. They now face felony child sexual abuse charges like their older brother Sean.
Adventure Games is a place where you can go to play board games. The alleged victim says she spent a lot of time at the place in Dickson City in her teens.
It's unclear if Damien and Rian Mancuso were co-owners with their brother but the woman says the men who were in their late 20s at the time were always there.
According to court papers, Rian Mancuso forced her to touch him when she was just 14 and fondled her, while Damien Mancuso threatened to kill her if she did not perform a sex act on him.
She says Sean Mancuso threatened to ban her from the place if she ever told anyone about what he and his brothers did to her.
Damien Mancuso is charged with indecent assault and statutory sexual assault. Rian Mancuso is charged with indecent assault and corruption of minors. Both were released on bail after their arraignments.
