Seneca County Sheriff’s Investigators arrested Anthony J. Wickum, age 17, 2295 West Tyre Road, Seneca Falls, NY on a charge of Rape 3rd. The charge stems from a continuing investigation into a incident which occurred in the Town of Tyre on July 28, 2010 in which Wickum allegedly had unwanted sexual contact with a 14 year old girl. Wickum was previously charged with Sexual Misconduct and Endangering the Welfare of a Child and remains in the Seneca County Correctional facility in lieu of $2500.00 cash or $5000.00 bail bond on those charges. Wickum was arraigned on the new charges in the Town of Tyre Court where he was released back into the custody of the Sheriff’s Office. Wickum is to reappear in Tyre Town court on 08-24-10 to answer the charge.
