Jay L. Preston, the director of My Father’s House homeless shelter in Paola, was booked into Miami County Jail on Saturday for aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
On Monday, Miami County Attorney Elizabeth Sweeney-Reeder officially charged Preston, 57, with aggravated indecent liberties with a child, with the offender being older than 18 and the victim being younger than 14.
The charge is an off-grid person felony, and Preston is being held on $500,000 bond.
The charge stems from an incident that allegedly occurred in rural Miami County on or about July 7 through July 8, and the charge is the result of an investigation by the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, Sweeney-Reeder said.
Preston was not yet represented by legal counsel as of Monday, and a court date had not yet been set.
