Rome, N.Y. A man wanted for the decade-long sexual abuse of a child in Central New York was returned to the state last weekend after being arrested halfway across the country.
Richard J. Meier, 35, of Rome, has been charged with sexually assaulting a girl repeatedly over the course of 10 years, said Chief Deputy Derrick O’Meara, of the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office. The abuse started when the girl was 5 years old, he said.
The sheriff’s office started investigating Meier in December after the girl he abused who is now 15 years old disclosed that the man had abused her, said O’Meara, director of the Oneida County Child Advocacy Center. After a months-long investigation by Investigator Mark R. Chrysler, Meier was indicted by an Oneida County grand jury on April 30 for predatory sexual assault against a child.
