David Balosa Sentenced For Sexually Abusing 4-Year-Old

A Jehovah’s Witness member from Philadelphia who sexually assaulted a 4-year-old child has been sentenced to up to four years in prison, Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced Friday, Jan. 31.
David Balosa, 62, was convicted in September 2024 of aggravated indecent assault and related charges after a Philadelphia County jury found he used his position in a Jehovah’s Witnesses congregation to befriend a family and later abuse their child in 1998.
On Friday, a judge sentenced Balosa to two to four years in state prison, followed by six years of probation. He will also be required to register as a lifetime sex offender under SORNA, authorities said.
The victim, now an adult, spoke at the sentencing, recounting the long-lasting effects of the abuse.
“For many years, this survivor lived without a sense of justice or closure for crimes that they endured as a child — and without their bravery, this conviction would not have been possible,” AG Sunday said.
