Nelsonville man arrested for multiple sex crimes

A man was arrested on three felony charges and one misdemeanor charge at Kroger on Monday.

Brandon Thomas Humphrey, 18, of Nelsonville, was indicted by the Athens Grand Jury for rape, a felony of the first degree; sexual battery, a felony of the third degree; gross sexual imposition, a felony of the fourth degree; and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, a misdemeanor of the first degree.

Humphrey is accused of engaging in sexual conduct with two 15-year-old girls on two separate occasions in July, according to the report by Prosecutor Keller Blackburn.

“Humphrey is accused of engaging in sexual conduct with a fifteen (15) year old female without her consent on or about July 9, 2018,” Blackburn said in the report. “Humphrey is further accused of engaging in sexual conduct with another fifteen (15) year old female on July 3, 2018.”

He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday for arraignment. The case was investigated by the Athens County Sheriff’s Office and Athens County Children Services.
