Former Police Sergeant Not Guilty of Felony Sex Offenses

After a two-week jury trial, a Clermont County jury has found a former Miami Township police officer accused of groping and assaulting a woman during a ride-along last year not guilty of three felony sex offenses and a separate charge of assault.

The 18-year veteran police officer was found guilty of misdemeanor offenses.

The jury found the officer not guilty of assault.

The officer has indicated that he intends to appeal based on a number of evidentiary decisions made by the judge during the trial.
