MUNCY, Pa. — A man in Lycoming County has been arrested for sexual assault that occurred over three decades.
Timothy Stroud, 54, of Muncy, was arraigned Wednesday morning in Jersey Shore on more than 1,000 counts of sexually assaulting children.
Those charges include more than 100 counts of child rape.
Police say Stroud sexually assaulted five victims beginning in 1992 until 2018. Stroud was arrested Wednesday morning at his place of employment in Williamsport by state police after months of investigation.
Police say the five victims ranged in age between 4 and 17 during the time of the alleged assaults. Most of these alleged crimes took place at Stroud's previous residence and various locations throughout Lycoming County.
When asked about the charges in court, Stroud said, "I am just trying to wrap my head around all of this."
Stroud is locked up in Lycoming County without bail. He is due back in court on March 22 for a preliminary hearing.
Officials believe that there could be even more victims in this case. Anyone with information is urged to contact State Police at Montoursville.
