STATE V. WAYNE HOGUE
On Thursday, February 2, 2012 Wayne A. Hogue, age 72, was found guilty of three counts of gross sexual imposition, felonies of the third degree. Hogue had been previously indicted by the Guernsey County Grand Jury for three counts of gross sexual imposition. Hogue entered a plea of no contest to each of the three counts on Thursday, February 02, 2012 before Judge David A. Ellwood of the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court.
According to the indictment, Hogue was alleged to have had sexual contact with two minor children, each under the age of 13, between May and July 2011. Upon the matter being reported, the Cambridge Police Department began an investigation and executed a search warrant at Hogue’s residence on N. 8th Street in Cambridge, Ohio where evidence of the alleged crimes was seized.
According to prosecuting attorney Daniel G. Padden, numerous pretrial matters were previously argued before the court. “Cases involving young victims are especially difficult to prosecute,” said Padden, “but with the assistance of the victims’ family, the Haven of Hope and the Cambridge Police Department, a successful resolution of this case was achieved.”
Judge David Ellwood ordered that a presentence investigation be prepared by the Court prior to sentencing which has been scheduled for March 19, 2012 at 1:00 p.m.
