Sims, charged with rape of a minor, has bail set at $250,000

Bruce Sims was wanted for allegedly raping a minor just after midnight on Tuesday, April 19, 2011. He voluntarily turned himself in later that same day. This morning, he appeared before Judge Shriver of Clermont County Municipal Court for a bail hearing. Bail was set at $250,000 due to the nature of the offense. Sims also waived his right to a preliminary hearing.

The case will now be turned over to the Clermont County grand jury for a formal indictment on felony charges of rape of a minor.
