PORTSMOUTH, OHIO – Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman has announced the arrest of 75-year-old Larry D. Skaggs, of State Route 239, West Portsmouth, Ohio, following an investigation into the sexual assault of a child.


The investigation began on June 23, 2026, when detectives were contacted by Scioto County Children Services regarding a reported sexual assault involving a victim under the age of 13. Detectives initiated a comprehensive investigation, which included interviews with the victim and several witnesses.


Evidence gathered during the investigation helped detectives establish that the assault took place at a residence in West Portsmouth. As the inquiry expanded, investigators identified additional victims, including allegations involving incidents occurring several years ago in Scioto County, as well as a more recent incident reported in Franklin County.


The Scioto County Sheriff’s Office is currently coordinating with the Ohio State University (OSU) Police Department to investigate these additional allegations.


Larry D. Skaggs was located and detained without incident on June 23, 2026. He has been charged with one count of Gross Sexual Imposition involving a victim under the age of 13, a felony of the 3rd degree. Skaggs appeared in the Portsmouth Municipal Court and is currently being held on a $25,000 bond.


Sheriff Thoroughman expressed his gratitude to the staff at Southern Ohio Medical Center for their invaluable assistance and partnership during this investigation.


"This is an active, ongoing investigation" said Sheriff Thoroughman. "We anticipate that additional charges will be presented to the Scioto County Grand Jury as the case proceeds."


Anyone with further information regarding this investigation is urged to contact Detective Sergeant Jodi Conkel at 740-351-1091.

Una buena fuente de información sobre loteria nacional debería facilitar la consulta sin llenar la página de contenido repetitivo. Cuando los datos principales aparecen claramente visibles, resulta mucho más cómodo revisar lo necesario y continuar rápidamente con las actividades del día.

For a balanced approach to daily wellness, it helps to have a single place that covers skin, movement, and mindset without pressure. LadyArea structures its content around these areas clearly, making it easy to find what fits your current routine. The tone stays supportive rather than prescriptive, which is a refreshing change from many sites that push rigid plans. I appreciate that the focus is on practical steps and self-acceptance, so you can take what resonates and leave the rest.
