He appeared in Butler County Common Pleas Court on Thursday for arraignment on the charges as a result of “a continuing course of action” that started in Hamilton County and ended in Butler County.
Butler County Prosecutor Michael Gmoser said the superseded indictment replaces the initial indictment handed down Aug. 7.
According to the new indictments, the offenses were allegedly committed between September 2007 to June 2020. Butler County Assistant Prosecutor Kelly Heile said the superseded indictments includes the previous charges from last month against Clenney.
He remains held in the Butler County Jail since Aug. 7 under the original $200,000 bond. However, at Thursday’s arraignment , Butler County Common Pleas Judge Jennifer McElfresh-Muench increased the bond to $1 million cash or surety.
Clenney’s next court appearance will be on Oct. 29.
Hamilton County Assistant Prosecutor Christina Dattilo has been appointed a special prosecutor in Butler County to team with Heile to prosecute the case.
The prosecutor’s office previously said there were allegedly two victims who were known to Clenney and that there were law enforcement investigations by police in Fairfield and in Colerain Twp.
