— Mark D. Yarmey, 52, of Louisville, has been indicted by a grand jury in Louisville for sodomy and use of a minor in a sexual performance.
The two felony counts stem from an incident that allegedly happened nine years ago with an 11-year-old girl. The now 20-year-old victim said in the police report that her mother stood by as Yarmey took nude photographs of her.
She said her mother then left, leaving her with Yarmey, who forced her to perform oral sex on him.
At his arraignment earlier this month, Yarmey — who teaches electronics technology at Prosser School of Technology — pled not guilty to the charges.
On April 9, Yarmey posted the $35,000 full-cash bond.
He remains on paid leave from the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School Corp. A pretrial conference is set for June 23 and the tentative trial date is scheduled for Nov. 12.
