Deputies: Butler County man arrested, accused of raping a child
US. TODD, THANKS FOR THE UPDATE. ALSO TONIGHT, A LIBERTY TOWNSHIP MAN IS BEING HELD ON A HALF $1 MILLION BOND AFTER INVESTIGATORS SAY THAT HE RAPED A CHILD MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF FIVE YEARS. INVESTIGATORS ARE CONCERNED THERE COULD BE MORE VICTIMS OUT THERE. IN WLWT NEWS, FIVE’S KAREN JOHNSON LIVE IN HAMILTON RIGHT OUTSIDE THE BUTLER COUNTY JAIL WITH MORE KAREN. WELL, HEY, MIKE. KYLE PALMER IS SLEEPING IN THE BUTLER COUNTY JAIL TONIGHT, BUT HE LIVES OVER IN THE GREGORY CREEK MOBILE HOME PARK IN LIBERTY TOWNSHIP. THAT’S WHERE INVESTIGATORS SAY THE CRIMES TOOK PLACE. I WAS OUT THERE EARLIER, AND NEIGHBORS TELL ME AFTER HEARING THE NEWS. HE’S NOT WELCOME BACK. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. UH, I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE IT. I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE SOMEBODY DOING THAT TO A CHILD. JIMMY COUCH, DISGUSTED TO LEARN ONE OF HIS NEIGHBORS, KYLE PLUMMER, IS ACCUSED OF RAPING A YOUNG GIRL. THAT’S NOT NORMAL. IT’S NOT NORMAL. THE STATE OF OHIO VERSUS KYLE PLUMMER, THE 32 YEAR OLD APPEARED IN A BUTLER COUNTY COURTROOM AND WAIVED HIS RIGHT TO A PROBABLE CAUSE. HEARING THIS PERSON THAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT RIGHT HERE IS A VERY LOW LIFE, PITIFUL INDIVIDUAL. AND I KNOW YOU’RE NOT GOING TO USE THE WORD THAT I USE TO DESCRIBE HIM, BUT HE IS ACTUALLY A PIECE OF SHERIFF RICHARD JONES SAYS PLUMMER RAPED THE CHILD FOR YEARS, STARTING WHEN SHE WAS FIVE YEARS OLD. SHE’S NOW 11. JONES SAYS PLUMMER ACTUALLY SENT A TEXT TO AN EX-GIRLFRIEND, ADMITTING TO WHAT HE DID TO THE CHILD. THANK GOD SHE TOLD ON HIM, ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS. PLUMMER ALSO BRIBED THE CHILD WITH A NICOTINE VAPE PEN TO NOT TELL ANYONE. THE CHILD IS KNOWN TO PLUMMER, AND INVESTIGATORS WORRY THERE COULD BE MORE VICTIMS. THAT IS. THAT IS AWFUL. AND YOU SAID HE’S IN JAIL? YEP. I HOPE THEY KEEP HIM THERE AND RIGHT NOW PLUMMER FACES TWO COUNTS OF RAPE. BUT AGAIN, HE WAIVED HIS PRELIMINARY HEARING TODAY. THAT MEANS THE CASE NOW GOES DIRECTLY TO A GRAND JURY AND INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE HE WILL BE INDICTED ON MORE CHARGES.
