11/9/2011

BOWLING GREEN -- A 22-year-old man was arrested Monday after allegedly sending photos of himself engaging in "illicit sexual acts" with a juvenile family member.

Authorities say Andrew Lemay, 360 Colony Lane, Apt. 16, Bowling Green, has been charged with one count of rape after allegedly sending the pictures to at least one person. Bowling Green police Lt. Brad Biller described the recipient only as an acquaintance.

It is possible the recipient will face charges, the lieutenant said.

Bowling Green police officers executed a search warrant at Mr. Lemay's apartment and arrested the man while he was at work. The juvenile family member was evaluated at the scene by authorities from the Wood County Department of Job and Family Services.

The juvenile was then released to other family members pending medical evaluation, authorities said.

Lieutenant Biller did not release the age or sex of the victim.

Authorities have said the investigation is ongoing and they anticipate additional charges being brought against Mr. Lemay and other people involved in the incident.

According to Bowling Green Municipal Court records, Mr. Lemay was facing eviction just last week, but the case was dismissed Thursday.

Mr. Lemay is being held in the Wood County jail. An arraignment date on the rape charge has not yet been set, according to court records.
