PICKAWAY -On September 26, 2018, the Circleville Police Department and School Resource Officer were made aware of alarming Facebook messages being sent to a 16 year old juvenile by an adult male while at Circleville City Schools. Officers who observed the messages immediately identified them to be grooming tactics meant to gain the trust and confidence of the juvenile. During the investigation, the juvenile victim reported being groped by the adult male several days earlier while she was asleep. Circleville Detectives were able to determine the crime occurred outside the city of Circleville and launched a joint investigation with the Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office. After a thorough investigation, which included the use of cellphone forensics, 37 year-old Shawn Alan Wycuff of Williamsport was charged with sexual imposition, a misdemeanor of the third degree.
On June 5, 2019, after a lengthy jury trial in Circleville Municipal Court, which Detectives from both the Circleville Police Department and Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office were in attendance, Mr. Wycuff was ultimately found guilty by a jury of his peers. Mr. Wycuff was sentenced to 30 days in jail, one year of intensive supervision probation and must register annually as a Tier I sex offender for the next 15 years.

UPDATE: This is the maximum sentence to the charges that were filed against him mandated by law. 

Now after serving his 30 days in jail, Wycuff, now 38 has been charged again but for more serious charges. Two Counts of Rape, Two Counts of Sexual Battery, Two Counts of gross sexual imposition, and one count of probation violation, all charges are much more serious than the charge in September he was charged with, plus Wycuff was on one year of intensive supervision probation.

Wycuff was picked up today in a probation raid/drug raid by Circleville Police, Circleville Probation and US Marshals. More on that here: http://www.sciotopost.com/circleville-police-federal-marshals-probation-arrest-several-busts-around-city/
