No plea deal for Saratoga kidnapper

February 13, 2009 By WRN Contributor

Edward Lanphaer  A plea deal won't happen for a Saratoga man charged with sexually assaulting two men he held captive last summer.

Wood County district attorney Todd Wolf offered Edward Lanphear a plea deal last month but the defense wanted to see his psychological exams before making a decision.

A spokeswoman for the D-A said neither side was able to reach a deal. Lanphear's attorney was not immediately available for comment.

Prosecutors say Lanphear kidnapped a 23-year-old man and a 21-year-old man in July, chained them at his house and sexually assaulted them.

Police arrested Lanphear after one of the man escaped and ran to a nearby house.

Lanphear has pled not guilty to 13 felonies.

A weeklong jury trial will begin June First.
