In November 2016, 38-year-old Keith A. Hilliard, of 4258 Route 38A, Skaneateles, was arrested and . At the time, the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office said Hilliard had oral sex with a child under the age of 15 and used a social media site he had not reported to the Department of Criminal Justice Services. 

However, earlier this month, a grand jury indicted Hilliard on additional charges, including another felony count of second-degree criminal sex act and endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor.

Hilliard was arraigned on all charges Thursday in Cayuga County Court before Judge Thomas Leone. His defense attorney, Rome Canzano, entered a plea of not guilty to all counts. 

When asked for bail recommendation, Cayuga County District Attorney Jon Budelmann cited Hilliard's criminal record, noting the defendant had been convicted of two prior sex offenses. In June of 2003, Hilliard was convicted of third-degree rape for having sex with a 13-year-old girl and sentenced to one year in jail. He was then convicted of failure to register as a sex offender in 2010. 

Leone set bail at $50,000 cash, $100,000 bond. Hilliard is due back in court March 23. 

Also in court: 

• A man has admitted to possessing child pornography in the town of Ira. 

Danial Dollinger, 21, of 2794 Wise Road, pleaded guilty Thursday to one felony count of possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child. 

During his plea, Dollinger said he downloaded images of an 8- to 10-year-old boy being abused by an adult male. 

While Dollinger could face a maximum of 1 1/3 to four years in prison, Leone agreed to sentence him to no less than six months in jail plus 10 years probation and no worse than one to three years in prison. 

Dollinger is scheduled to be sentenced March 23. 

• An Elbridge woman has admitted her involvement in a string of burglaries in Cayuga County. 

Laura Young, of 101 Meadow Rd., pleaded guilty Thursday to three counts of second-degree burglary, a class C felony. The 35-year-old told Leone she helped her co-defendants, Steven Clark and Ashley Tremaine, burglarize several homes last June, including one in the town of Sennett and two in Cato. 

Young could face up to 15 years in prison on each count. However, as a condition of her pleas of guilty, Leone has agreed to sentence her to five years in prison plus 2 1/2 years post-release supervision. 

Young will be sentenced April 20.
