A Lemon Creek Correctional Center inmate was indicted on two felonies this week for allegedly assaulting a fellow inmate.<\/p>\n

Lorenzo A. Lopez, 27, faces two charges of second-degree assault for an altercation with Oleksandr Kryvoruchko at LCCC, according to an indictment dated Nov. 21.<\/p>\n

On June 29 of this year, Lopez beat Kryvoruchko with his fists, according to the charging document. Kryvoruchko, 31, suffered a fracture to his right eye socket, a broken nose and fractures to his sinus wall, a doctor found. Surveillance footage captured the assault on film.<\/p>\n

Lopez is currently in LCCC and is also still on probation from a previous assault, according to the indictment. Lopez was convicted of a felony for a 2016 assault that an Empire report at the time dubbed a “horrifying attack,”<\/a> where he beat a woman and broke her jaw.<\/p>\n

The new assault charges are for recklessly causing serious injury to another person and for causing injury with a dangerous weapon (his fists, in this case), the indictment states. Both charges are class C felonies.<\/p>\n

Another Southeast Alaska man faces 13 counts that include sexual assault, sexual abuse of a minor and harassment. John M. Scott, 58, faces counts relating to non-consensual sexual contact in Gustavus over a span from 1999 to 2018. The indictment included two charges of first-degree sexual assault, five counts of second-degree sexual assault, two counts of fourth-degree sexual abuse of a minor and four counts of first-degree harassment.<\/p>\n

There are two victims detailed in the indictment, including someone who was 16 or 17 when Scott grabbed her breasts on multiple occasions from 1999-2001 and performed sexual acts without her consent in the summer of 2001, the indictment alleges. Scott touched a second victim’s buttocks on multiple occasions from 2013-2018, according to the indictment. The indictment doesn’t list how Scott knew the two victims, but states that Scott was in a position of authority over the first victim. None of the charges are domestic violence charges.<\/p>\n

The indictment, which is from a Juneau grand jury, is dated Dec. 6. Six of the charges are misdemeanors and seven are felonies.<\/p>\n
