SEDGWICK COUNTY —A man accused in a 16-year-old sexual assault case has made a first appearance in court.
Ted Foy, 52 of Augusta, is charged with aggravated criminal sodomy, rape, aggravated sexual battery, and attempted rape, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In November of 2007, police were dispatched to a reported sex assault case at 1900 S Tara Falls in Wichita, according to Officer Kris Gupilan.
Investigators learned that a suspect had broken into a home and sexually assaulted a female victim. Investigators worked to identify a suspect but were unable to despite exhausting all available resources at the time.
Recently, in collaboration with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations Cold Case Team and the Sedgwick County Regional Forensic Science Center, Wichita Police Investigators were able to utilize genealogical investigative techniques to assist them in identifying a potential suspect.
The suspect’s identity was confirmed through DNA as Ted Foy.
On Monday, police arrested Foy and booked him into the Sedgwick County Jail. Attorneys are scheduled to discuss the case on May 15. Foy remains in jail on a $500,000 bond.
