LOVELAND, Ohio-Keith Cruz, a Loveland man, faces severe legal repercussions after Clermont County Prosecutor Mark J. Tekulve indicted him on 72 counts, including 36 counts of rape involving a child under 13, along with charges of gross sexual imposition and other offenses related to minors. Cruz, already in custody at Hamilton County Justice Center, was initially indicted on lesser charges last year but now faces a potential sentence of up to 900 years in prison for the rape charges alone. Authorities urge anyone who may have been victimized by Cruz to contact the Loveland Police Department, emphasizing their commitment to justice for all victims involved. Community resources like the Ion Center for Violence Prevention and other advocacy centers are highlighted as crucial supports for victims of sexual violence.
