Muncy man found guilty of 39 sex crime charges
Timothy Darren Stroud Sr., of Muncy, was found guilty on 39 separate sex assault charges following a two-day trial in the courtroom of Lycoming County President Judge Eric Linhardt Wednesday evening.
An investigation stemming from a phone tip police received in December 2022 resulted in Stroud, 57, being charged with more than 1,000 sex offenses against five minor victims, whose ages ranged from 4 to 17 years old when the abuse occurred.
Several of the counts were consolidated, resulting in the 39 guilty verdicts, Deputy District Attorney Phoebe Yates explained, while stressing that that consolidation does not lessen the severity or number of acts carried out by Stroud.
Among those the jury of seven men and five women found Stroud guilty of were multiple counts each of rape of a person less than 13-years-old, rape by forcible compulsion, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse of a person less than 13-years-old, unlawful contact with a minor, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of children and indecent exposure.
Stroud is jailed at the Lycoming County Prison, and is scheduled for sentencing on Aug. 21.
Stroud still faces one count of rape by forcible compulsion, two counts each of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse of a person less than 16-years-old, aggravated indecent assault of a person less than 16-years-old, statutory sexual assault, indecent assault of a person less than 16-years-old, corruption Of minors, and five counts of indecent exposure, as well as 46 counts of criminal attempt – child pornography, six counts of child pornography, and one count of criminal use of communication facility in two separate pending cases.
