Washington County Man Arrested on Charges of Sex Crimes Involving Minor

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has arrested Glen Gillis Jr., 28, following a lengthy investigation into alleged sex crimes involving a minor. Authorities report that Gillis is accused of engaging in sexual acts with a minor on two separate occasions in 2020, one incident taking place in Easton in April and another in Salem in September. At the time of these incidents, the minor was 15 and then 16 years old.

Gillis, who was 24 at the time of the alleged offenses, was located at a residence in Salem on November 1, where deputies took him into custody.

Following his arrest, Gillis was arraigned at Washington County Centralized Arraignment. Despite the severity of the charges, he was released on his own recognizance, meaning he was not required to post bail.

The sheriff’s office has confirmed that this investigation is still active as authorities continue to gather additional information and assess the full scope of the allegations. For more information on New York’s criminal laws regarding offenses involving minors, visit the x.com.
