RIDGWAY – A Jefferson County man has been charged with the indecent assault of an Elk County juvenile.
According to a State Police investigation, 22-year-old Ethan Fike of Brookville allegedly touched a 12-year-old Ridgway girl inappropriately. The victim, who is now a teenager, recently accused Fike of sexually assaulting her in her bedroom five years ago.
Troopers say that Fike initially denied the allegations during questioning, but his story changed following a polygraph test.
Fike was arraigned Tuesday on multiple indecent assault charges, but he was released after posting unsecured bail.
