Police arrest man on sexual assault, incest charges

By Dave Gomez

A 36-year-old Cortland man is free on bond after a DeKalb County grand jury indicted him on charges of sexually assaulting a family member Oct. 1.

On Oct. 2, Cortland police took a report of the alleged incident from the victim, who was hospitalized and released.

Cortland police then asked the DeKalb County Sheriff’s office to conduct the investigation.

The department conducted and completed the investigation, which led to a DeKalb County grand jury indicting Andrew J. Bouchonville on charges of criminal sexual assault and sexual relations within family.

Cortland police arrested Bouchonville after the charges were filed and took him to DeKalb County Jail. He later was released after posting $3,500 of his $35,000 bond.
