A leader of a local Christian University is facing sex charges following an arrest at Mount Airy Forest Saturday morning.
Police arrested Robert Williams and charged him with sexual imposition for allegedly grabbing an undercover officer in a sexual manner. According to court records, the incident happened on Trail Ridge Road, which is about a mile and a half from the park entrance.
Williams is the Chief Financial Officer of Cincinnati Christian University.
University officials tell 9News he has worked as the University's CFO for two or three years and he worked for the university before being promoted to that position.
University President David Faust issued a written statement about the arrest. Part of it reads, "We are shocked and dismayed by the news of Robert Williams' arrest. This is a personal tragedy for him and for his family and we lift them up in our prayers. Mr. Williams is being placed on administrative leave from his job at CCU while we learn and assess the facts of the case."
Williams entered a written plea of not guilty on Monday. If found guilty, he's looking at up to two months in jail.
Cincinnati police recognize an ongoing problem of men soliciting sex from men at the park. They regularly conduct sting operations.
Scott Whissel and Ford Kelley were also were arrested for indecent exposure the same morning. They were picked up at the same location in the park where Williams was arrested.
