LIMA — Jeremy Kindle, 35, of Elida, waived his constitutional right to a speedy trial during a brief court appearance Tuesday.
Kindle is charged with 11 counts of rape, 11 counts of sexual battery, six counts of felonious assault, 17 counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, 18 counts of sexual battery and single counts of felonious assault and tampering with evidence.
He and Scott Steffes, 38, of Lima, were charged with 65 and 62 felony counts, respectively, in recent grand jury indictments. The charges were based on a series of alleged incidents that also led the executive director and two employees of the Allen County Children Services to be placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.
