A case was opened in 2012, when a 12-year-old girl in Pennsylvania told her substitute teacher that a man had sexually assaulted her for years, and the teacher then told the police, according to a statement from the state attorney general’s office.

But seven more years passed before anyone was criminally charged — and one of the men who the girl said had abused her became a police chief.

On Wednesday, the Pennsylvania attorney general, Josh Shapiro, announced that Gregory Wagner, 28, and Brent Getz, 27, had been arrested on several charges, including child rape and aggravated indecent assault.

Both men are of Lehighton, Pa., and Mr. Getz was the chief of police in the neighboring borough of Weissport.
