On March 11, 2026, the White Oak Police Department received a complaint that a White Oak Borough resident had exposed himself to an elderly female in the eastern section of White Oak Borough. Officers were immediately assigned to investigate.
On March 12, 2026, the White Oak Police Department filed criminal charges by summons on Anthony Stamerra, 65, of White Oak Borough. Stamerra has been charged with Open Lewdness and Indecent Exposure.
The investigation revealed that Stamerra was known to the victim. At an unknown date in January of 2026, Stamerra knocked on the victim’s door and asked the victim to pray for him and entered the residence of the victim.
After a few minutes of discussing religious items on the walls of the residence, the victim observed Stamerra slouched back in a chair, with his p***s exposed, and his hands near his p***s. The victim then yelled for Stamerra to get out of the house, and according to the victim, Stamerra told the victim, “Don’t worry, I would never hurt you."
It should be noted that the victim in this case is 82 years old. Stamerra entered the residence to prey on the victim through their religion.
White Oak Police consulted with the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office Elder Abuse Unit and relayed the investigative results. The District Attorney's Office recommended and approved the charges of Open Lewdness and Indecent Exposure.
The White Oak Police Department continues to investigate and has received information indicating there may be additional victims. Anyone with information is asked to contact Chief Binder at 412-672-9726 and leave a message. Callers may remain anonymous. If you need to speak with an on-duty police officer or have an emergency, call 9-1-1.
