Former Kentucky justice secretary arrested in downtown Lexington, charged with rape
John Tilley, former secretary of Kentucky’s Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, was arrested in downtown Lexington and charged with first degree rape Monday morning, according to jail records.
An arrest citation alleges that Tilley had sex with a victim who could not consent due to their level of intoxication. The alleged rape occurred on April 15, but Tilley was not detained on the charge until Monday, according to the arrest citation. Tilley turned himself in Monday morning, Lexington police confirmed.
Attorneys Christopher Spedding and Steve Schroering said in a statement Monday that Tilley maintains he didn’t commit a crime.
“Mr. Tilley maintains his innocence of any criminal wrongdoing and has fully cooperated in the investigation. He respects the court process and will have no further comment at this time,” Spedding and Schroering said in their statement.
