A rape case involving a former state representative from Hopkinsville and Governor Bevin cabinet member is off to the grand jury.
Former KY Justice Cabinet Sec. John Tilley is charged in connection with an incident at a downtown Lexington Hotel in April.
Police say the 53-year-old raped a woman while she was too intoxicated to give consent. In addition to serving as the Justice Cabinet Sec, Tilley also served as a state representative for several years.
In court, Tilley waived his right to a preliminary hearing. His case now heads to a grand jury.
