    Former Loveland Police officer faces new charge – Felonious Assault

    Loveland, Ohio – Today, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph T. Deters announced a new indictment of former Loveland Police officer Anthony Pecord for one count of Felonious Assault. If convicted of this charge, he faces a maximum sentence of 8 additional years in prison. (Former Loveland Police Officer Anthony Pecord pleads down to three counts of Gross Sexual Imposition)

    Deters asks anyone who has had sexual contact with Pecord since 2016, and believes they may have been exposed, to contact Detective Jack Losekamp with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department at 513-595-7484.

    In March, Pecord pled guilty to three counts of Gross Sexual Imposition (F4) and was sentenced to 4 years in prison related to an incident that took place on January 24, 2021.

    Post-conviction, it was determined that Pecord was HIV-positive, and was aware of his HIV status prior to his unlawful sexual conduct with the victim according to a statement released by the Prosecutor’s office. “The victim was not aware of Pecord’s HIV status, and did not consent to the sexual conduct with the defendant.”

    Deters commented, “The trauma of a sexual assault is something that changes you forever. To add to that the fear of contracting HIV is horrifying for the victim.”

    Pecord was originally indicted by a Hamilton County Grand Jury on March 15 on 16 counts; 8 counts of Rape, and 8 counts of Sexual Battery. In the original complaint filed by Hamilton County detective Jack Losekamp, Pecord was charged with raping the victim while the victim was unconscious and unable to consent due to intoxication. Losekamp said that the victim was surreptitiously given an intoxicant, a first-degree felony. The complaint alleged there was forensic evidence on Pecord’s cell phone that he committed the crime.

    Bradley Pauley charged with Felony assault and is now in custody

    Loveland, Ohio – Loveland Police Chief Sean Rahe told Loveland Magazine on Thursday, “We were just contacted by the Clermont County jail approximately an hour ago. They have Mr. Pauly in custody. I do not have any additional information regarding where or when he was located.”   

    On April 22, at approximately 2:17 AM a vehicle struck the south side of Zappz bar at 409 Loveland Madeira Road. The driver, and at least one patron were injured. The driver was identified as Bradley Pauley, who was transported from the scene by helicopter for medical care. Andrew Attinger, a patron, was transported by life squad. 

    Several witnesses reported the driver was involved in an altercation inside the bar prior to the vehicle striking the building. Loveland Police are trying to verify this information, and other evidence in this case. Rahe said, “Please contact Detective Anthony Pecord at the Loveland Police Department if you have any information about this incident.” The Loveland Police can be reached at 513-583-3000.    

    Pauley was charged with felony assault, a felony of the second degree. Pauley could be facing a prison term of 2-8 years and a $20,000 fine. Felonious assault in Ohio means either knowingly causing serious physical harm to another, or using a deadly weapon to knowingly causing physical harm to another. The court can also impose a class two suspension of the offender’s driver’s license if the deadly weapon used in the commission of the violation is a motor vehicle.
