Pennsylvania family suing sex offender neighbor that assaulted daughter into buying their home

A Pennsylvania family whose daughter was sexually abused by a neighbor in 2011 is suing him into buying their home.

The couple say they need to leave their house in Upper Milford Township to get away from Oliver Larry Beck, 65, who recently returned after completing a two year jail sentence.
