SHARON, Pa. - 19 year old Leonard Frye, Jr. is being held on $50,000 bond, charged with rape, sexual assault and corruption of a minor.
Sharon police said in a criminal complaint filed late Saturday that Frye gave the 14 year old victim, who was from Hermitage, marijuana and Suboxone, an opioid - then had sex.
The night before, Mercer County District Attorney Pete Acker said the girl's mom dropped her off at Frye's mother's house where he lives.
Police responded to that home on Oak Way late Saturday morning, and found the teen dead inside after Frye tried to wake her.

"We see a fair number of drug overdoses, usually not this young, but that's what this appears to be," Acker said. "It's our belief that the drugs in one way or another came from him. How she got a hold of them and how many she took remains to be seen."

Also inside that home - lots of drug paraphernalia and illegal narcotics, according to police.

Ironically, the home is across the street from a home Frye's father - Leonard Sr. - is accused of setting fire to twice in the last year.

Monday, Acker pointed out a potential connection to another case where the elder Frye's 19 year old son is charged.

"On a drug possession of controlled substance case that's pending and fairly recent, the drug he had was 'MMA' which is a date rape drug," he said. "Is this a drug delivery resulting in death case? Is it some form of homicide case? We really don't know and it's too early to tell."

Acker says the heartbreaking ordeal was more than the girl's family could stand.

"I was there when the girl's father arrived at the scene he was out of control he wanted to kill the defendant, he literally wanted to kill him."

The coroner has not determined the specific cause of death, and so far, Frye has not been charged with causing the teen's death.
Acker says it'll take a couple weeks for toxicology results to come back.
In the meantime, the superintendent of Hermitage Local Schools says grief counselors were on hand Monday and will be available as long as they're needed.
