An arrest has been made in connection with a Sheriff’s Office investigation into an alleged child molesting.
On October 1, 2025, at around 5:00 p.m., 37-year-old Zachary Ryan Wolf was taken into custody without incident in the 400 block of Detroit St. in the town of LaGrange, on a Steuben County arrest warrant charging Wolf with one count of level 1 felony Child Molesting. The arrest warrant followed a nearly 6-month investigation that began back in March of 2025 by Steuben County Sheriff’s detectives into allegations that Wolf had sexual contact with a then 11-year-old female victim.
The incident was alleged to have occurred back in 2022 at a residence in Steuben County’s rural Pleasant Township. Following the issuance of the arrest warrant on September 5, 2025, The Sheriff’s Office and the US Marshals Service began a joint fugitive investigation to locate and apprehend Wolf. After nearly a month-long search for Wolf, he was located in LaGrange, by the US Marshals Service. Wolf was subsequently booked into the Steuben County Jail where he remains held without bond pending an initial court appearance.
Also assisting the Sheriff’s Office in the fugitive investigation were the LaGrange Town Marshal’s Office and the Avilla Town Marshal’s Office.
