WICHITA, KAN. – A man was sentenced for a sexual assault that took place in 2007 in southeast Wichita.
On August 30, Sedgwick County District Judge Christopher Magana sentenced Ted Foy, 54 of Augusta, to nearly 26-years in prison.
In March, Foy pled guilty to aggravated criminal sodomy, rape, aggravated sexual battery, and attempted rape. The plea agreement also called for Foy to disclose how he chose his victim and how he knew where she lived.
Foy wore all-black clothing and a black mask when he entered the woman’s home through a downstairs window while her husband was away, serving in the military.
Foy’s arrest in May of last year was the first for the Wichita Police Department using investigative genetic genealogy in which a DNA sample from an unsolved case is matched to data people have submitted to genealogy websites. Foy’s identity was confirmed through DNA that he left on the victim’s body.
