A man from Cecil Township will stand trial on several involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and indecent assault of a minor charges. Ryan Wolstoncroft, 39 turned down a plea offer on a single involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a person less than 16 years old charge that would have him serve 5-10 years in jail. When asked by the judge about the plea deal the district attorney said that the offer has been the same for approximately two years. The judge asked Wolstoncroft if he was sure that he wanted to go to trial knowing that he could be convicted of all 6 offenses that he faces and that jail terms could be served consecutively calling for a much longer possible jail sentence. Wolstoncroft was firm in his reply to stand trial. The trial is scheduled for September 8. Wolstoncroft remains free on $250,000 bond.  Wolstoncroft is accused of assaulting a minor from 2020 until 2021 multiple times. He would offer to purchase in-game currency for a popular internet video game in exchange for silence about the assaults.
