Dayton police began an investigation July 16 after a 15-year-old girl reported that she had sex several times with Moreland and that he later threatened to release videos of them having sex and also threatened to kill her, according to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court.

The girl reported that she has seen Moreland with a handgun and that he has played with the gun while drunk, the affidavit stated.
