By Bob Robinson 

GREENVILLE – Codey Michael B. Greer, was returned to Darke County from Randolph County, Ind., Aug. 28 to face three charges of Felony 1 Rape, sexual conduct with a 12-year-old minor. 

According to Darke County Chief Deputy Mark Whittaker, Greer and the victim were found in Indiana following the Sheriff Office’s investigation for the missing juvenile. Greer was arrested for transporting a juvenile across a state line and the girl was returned to her family. 

A Grand Jury indictment for the three felony charges was returned on Greer Sept. 12, 2012 while he was incarcerated in Indiana. It was based upon the Sheriff Office investigation and interviews by the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office. According to the indictment he engaged in sexual contact with the minor three different times on Sept. 19 and 20. 

The defendant had been held in Indiana until he was released from Randolph County, Ind. to Darke County deputies on Aug. 28 of this year. 

Darke County Prosecutor R. Kelly Ormsby said Greer will be arraigned in the next few days. An attorney will be assigned if he doesn’t already have one and the subject of bond discussed. 

“There’s not too much else I can tell you at this time,” Ormsby added. 

Each Felony 1 count carries a prison term of 10 years to life.
