Dayton, OH – The Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (SOFAST) announced the arrest of Christopher W. Marcum today. SOFAST arrested Marcum this morning in Dayton, Ohio based on warrants from an indictment issued by the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.

Marcum has been charged by indictment with 2 counts of Gross Sexual Imposition with a child less than 13 (Felony 3), and 3 counts of Rape with a Child less than 10 (F1).
