Suspected Child Molester Faces Six New Charges

A magistrate tacked on six new felony charges and doubled the bail of a woman accused of having sex with several Coeur d’Alene boys.

At the conclusion of a preliminary hearing Tuesday, Kimberly A. Dickerson, 20, Lancaster, Calif., was charged with a total of 10 counts of lewd conduct with children.

First District Magistrate Eugene Marano found probable cause to add the extra charges and doubled her bail to $150,000.

She is accused of having contact with at least four boys aged 13 to 14 while her boyfriend watched.

The boyfriend, Kenneth W. Wycoff, 31, also of Lancaster, has been in local custody for more than three months on two counts of aiding and abetting lewd conduct.

The incidents allegedly occurred last year, while the couple was living temporarily in Coeur d’Alene.

Wycoff was bound over for trial in January. He pleaded innocent to the charges.

Dickerson was arrested with Wycoff in California. But she fought extradition until earlier this month. The maximum penalty for each charge is life in prison.
