On 06/22/2022 at approximately 8:40 pm Kevin Coley, a 47 year old Jamestown man was booked into the Hendricks County Jail on 14 counts of felony charges including child molest, sexual misconduct with a minor and vicarious sexual conduct.

Coley is being held at the Hendricks County Jail with a $100,000 cash bond. At this time, there are four known victims in this case.

If anyone has any information about this case or knows of any additional incidents involving Coley, they are encouraged to contact Sgt. Chandler at the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office at 317.745.4033.
