Posted

LOUSIVILLE – A second Louisville man was jailed Wednesday in connection with drug and sex crimes involving a 16 year-old female.

Joseph D. Mitchell, 16, was charged with criminal injection of a narcotic drug, sexual misconduct, and endangering the welfare of a child, troopers said.

Mitchell allegedly injected heroin into a 16 year-old female victim and engaged in a sexual act with her on the same day, trooper said.

The charges stem from an investigation into a series of incidents that resulted in the arrest of Zachary McGregor Tuesday for multiple drug and sex related crimes, police said.

McGregor, 25, was charged with third-degree rape, third-degree criminal sexual act, two-counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance to a child, felonies, trooper said.

Police said McGregor provided heroin and other drugs on multiple occasions, during the months of October and November 2013 to the victim who was an acquaintance of his.

The crimes allegedly occurred at the residence of Zachary McGregor and other private homes nearby, according to state police.

Troopers said McGregor also engaged in sexual acts with the victim on multiple occasions during the same time frame, police said.

Mitchell was arraigned in the Town of Louisville Court before Town Justice Michael LeCuyer and sent to the St. Lawrence County Jail on $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond.

Mitchell is scheduled to appear for further proceedings in the Town of Louisville Court Nov. 15, at 4 p.m.
