Richard Latham Charged with Sexual Abuse

A Cortland County man is facing additional sex abuse charges for crimes that may have occurred up to four decades ago.

67-year-old Richard Latham, of Cortland, who was already facing charges of abusing a 9-year-old boy, is now charged with first-degree sexual abuse of a 14-year-old.

Investigators are interviewing people connected to the case, and say there are additional victims dating back 40 years ago, when they were Boy Scouts under Latham's supervision.

Cortland police say they have executed a search warrant at Latham’s home as part of their investigation, and seized several items, including his home computer.

Latham was placed behind bars, where he posted bail. He's due back in court on July 15.
