HAMILTON — A Butler County grand jury will consider the case of a 41-year-old New Miami man charged with multiple felony sex offenses for allegedly having sex with girls between 1989 and 1997.

Kenneth Lee Ashcraft sat silent in Hamilton Municipal Court this morning, July 16, while two alleged victims, now ages 31 and 27, testified about a sexual relationship with "Kenny" that began when they were 11 and 12.

Ashcraft is charged with three counts of rape and three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with minor. After hearing testimony from the women during the short preliminary hearing, Hamilton Muncipal Court Judge Dan Gattermeyer found sufficient evidence to bind the case over to the grand jury.
