    Lowville, NY- A Lewis County grand jury has handed up a seven count
    indictment against a Croghan man.

    Ryan Hoch, 21, was arraigned on the following charges today in Lewis County
    Court, entering a not guilty plea to each:

  • First-degree Attempted Rape, Class C felony (2 counts)
  • First-degree Sexual Abuse, Class D felony (4 counts)
  • Third-degree Attempted Rape, a Class A misdemeanor (1 count)

    Mr. Hoch was arrested by State Police in January, after being accused of having
    forcible sexual intercourse and sexual contact with a 17-year-old female
    without her consent, on January 13, at a residence in the town of Martinsburg.

    A temporary order of protection was issued on behalf of the victim. Mr. Hoch is
    currently released on $20,000 bail, which continues.

    The case will be heard in Lewis County Court by the Honorable John H.
    Crandall and prosecuted by the Oneida County District Attorney's office, after
    recusal by Lewis County officials. Mr. Hoch is represented by Syracuse attorneys
    Michael Spano and Emil Rossi.

    A trial date is pending, with motion dates set. The next court appearance is
    scheduled for August 2, with oral arguments on motions.
