$1 Bail For Upstate NY Man Accused of Sexting Minor

A Utica man continues to be held behind bars despite a meager one-dollar bail assessed for his most recent arrest.

The Oneida County Sheriff's Office arrested 31-year-old Fabian Troutman for endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor charge, after they say he sent a sexually explicit text message to a child he knew was less than 17-years-old.

This followed a complaint made to the Oneida County Child Advocacy Center, officials said. Troutman was arraigned on the charge with bail set at $1, however, authorities say he continues to be held without bail due to a parole violation warrant.

Under New York State law, a conviction for the misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child is punishable by up to one year in jail, probation, along with any associated fines, penalties or surcharges assessed by the court.
