NORWICH – A man who had been accused of child sex crimes is off the hook after charges against him were dismissed by a judge’s order last month.

Judge James E. Downey was the presiding Judge on the matter.

According to a release from the man’s attorney, an application was made by the Chenango County District Attorney’s Office by letter dated July 8, 2015 to dismiss the indictment.

William J. Quigley, of Sidney, was originally charged with three counts of criminal sexual act in the first degree, a class B felony; course of sexual conduct against a child in the first degree, a class B felony; three counts of a criminal sexual act in the second degree, a class D felony; and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor.

It was alleged that during the months of September through November in 2006, at 3554 state Highway 12 in the Town of Oxford, Quigley performed oral sex on a male child approximately 10 years of age on more than one occasion.
