Former Marion County Band Director Indicted on 34 Counts of First‑Degree Sexual Abuse

His not‑guilty plea follows parallel Indiana charges with investigators saying the multi‑jurisdiction probe is ongoing.

Overview

  • A Marion County grand jury returned an indictment charging Adam McRay with 34 counts of first‑degree sexual abuse and Kentucky State Police arrested him on those charges.
  • Court documents allege sexual contact with at least one victim under 16 over roughly a year beginning in 2024 and say investigators believe there were at least two juvenile victims.
  • McRay pleaded not guilty at his initial Kentucky court appearance and a jury trial date has been set in Kentucky for later this year with a pretrial hearing also scheduled.
  • Separate cases in Floyd County, Indiana, charge McRay with counts of sexual misconduct with a minor and a judge noted the Indiana counts are parallel to the Kentucky indictment.
  • The Lebanon Police Department referred the matter to Kentucky State Police in late May and investigators say the active, multi‑jurisdiction probe could produce additional charges and developments.
