News » Abduction suspect held on $250,000 bond
July 22, 2010
A 28-year-old man is in custody on a $250,000 bond on charges that he had sexual contact with a three-year-old Appleton boy and abducted the child.
Joseph Skenandore was in Outagamie County court Wednesday afternoon.
Court records say he had just moved into a group home for developmentally disabled adults, and he was seen walking around a block several times last night waiving to children and smiling.
He's accused of taking the child from a home on Alvin Street around 6:30 p.m.
Assistant district attorney Melinda Tempelis asked for a substantial cash bond, saying that Skenandore admitted that at first, he took the boy behind a fence, outside the child's home and had sexual contact with him.
Court records say Skenandore went to Summit Park, and then later Kiwanis Park, to find a place where he could possibly rape the boy without anyone seeing. Records say he later admitted that he probably would have hurt the child and then he would have "got it for murder."
Skenandore has a criminal history, including two charges of sexually assaulting teens. The cases were dismissed because he was ruled incompetent. A public defender today asked for another competency exam. |
