Dubuque Man Faces Charges For Allegations From 10 Years Ago

A Dubuque man faces a charge of second-degree sexual abuse in an allegation dating back 10 years in Fayette County. 25 year old Scott Marcov was arrested on a warrant Tuesday by Dubuque police. Police said Fayette County authorities in July were alerted to an incident of sexual abuse that occurred in Clermont in 2009. A girl, who was younger than 7 years old at the time, told authorities that Marcov, then 15, abused her and threatened to kill her loved ones if she told anyone what had occurred. Fayette County authorities charged Marcov after an investigation and later arrested him. He could face up to 25 years in prison and be placed on the sex offender registry if convicted.
