A Greene County grand jury has indicted Michael Mendola Gentile, of Yellow Springs, on four counts of rape, one count each of sexual battery, gross sexual imposition, corrupting another with drugs and aggravated possession of drugs, according to a release from the Greene County Prosecutor's Office.
The charges stem from an incident that happened May 22, according to the indictment. The defendant raped the victim and "knew or had reasonable cause to believe that the other person's ability to resist or consent was substantially impaired," according to the indictment.
