Seneca Man Charged with Criminal Sexual Conduct

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office arrested 22 year old William Schyler Ferguson of Seneca Wednesday afternoon on three counts of 3rd Degree Criminal Sexual Conduct with a Minor.

Ferguson was served with a General Sessions Bench Warrant and transported by deputies from the Warrants Division from the McCracken County Detention Center in Paducah, KY to Oconee County.

A deputy was first informed, on April 17th of last year concerning allegations of inappropriate touching involving Ferguson and three separate victims.

As the investigation continued, it was determined that Ferguson inappropriately touched the three victims sometime between the time period of April of 2017 and May of 2018. Ferguson was given a combined $60,000 personal recognizance bond on the three Sheriff’s Office charges.

At this time, Ferguson remains in custody at the Detention Center and will be required to wear an electronic monitoring device as a condition of bond should he be released.
