DENNING – A Denning man was committed to the Sullivan County Jail in lieu of $20,000 cash bail or $15,000 bond following his arrest on sex-related crimes involving an underage victim.
The allegations against Archie Ackerley, 40, stem from an investigation by State Police at the Kingston barracks and the Sullivan County District Attorney’s Office. It is alleged that over the course of several months, Ackerley sent explicit photos of himself to a minor and asked the victim for nude photos, and engaged in sexual touching of the victim and offered the victim cash for sex.
Ackerley was charged with attempted rape, disseminating indecent material to a minor as a sexually motivated felony, patronizing prostitution, luring a child and criminal solicitation, all as felonies, and a misdemeanor of endangering the welfare of a child.
State Police are asking anyone who may have been a victim of Ackerley to call investigators at the Liberty barracks at 845-292-6600 or at the Kingston Barracks at 845-338-1702.
