'I hope you rot in hell': Columbia child molester faces victim and her mother | Local News | lancasteronline.com

William Wolf, 53, of Columbia Borough, pleaded guilty Thursday to charges of unlawful contact with a minor and four related offenses for molesting the woman's daughter from the time she was 11 until she was 15.

As part of a plea deal, Judge Thomas Sponaugle sentenced Wolf to 8 to 23 months in prison followed by 3 years of probation.

The abuse happened between 2006 and 2010, when the girl and her mother lived with Wolf in Columbia Borough, according to charging documents. During that time, Wolf had sexual contact with the girl many times while her mother was working.

In April 2021, the girl and her mother texted Wolf about the abuse, asking why he did what he did, according to police. He responded by admitting to the crimes and saying as an adult he should not have done what he did.

Cancer keeping 18-year-old East Donegal Township man from firefighting, starting career | Local News | lancasteronline.com

Thanks to a Pennsylvania law passed in January 2023 to increase the number of volunteer firefighters, the age requirement for live burn and interior firefighter training dropped from 18 to 17 years old. Myles Hoffman completed the training and joined the Columbia Borough Fire Department last year, when he was 17 and a senior at Donegal High School.

Myles Hoffman has also recently received some encouraging news in that his latest scans show no signs of cancer in his body. In other words, the chemo drugs are doing their job.

He has endured eight of 12 scheduled rounds of chemo to this point, with the finish line for treatment targeted for mid-November.
