Accused Claysburg child molester Patrick Partsch was released on unsecured bail yesterday from Blair County Prison over protests from his alleged victim's family.
 
Partsch, charged with aggravated indecent assault against an 8-year-old girl, waived his right to a preliminary hearing the same morning that his wife, alleged child rapist Tabatha Partsch, was arraigned on several new charges.
 
Patrick Partsch, in jail since his arrest Aug. 8, will live with his new girlfriend in the Claysburg area as he awaits trial. The judge said he must report regularly to a probation officer and is forbidden to have contact with any children during his release. Tabatha Partsch was arraigned Thursday on a series of new charges, including three counts of aggravated indecent assault and three counts of indecent assault on a young child.
 
Police filed the charges after relatives of another alleged victim, a 5-year-old boy, came forward with fresh allegations.
