- Vincent Gray
A Winchester man facing multiple felony charges for alleged possession of explicit images of juveniles sent his case to the grand jury Wednesday.
Vincent Gray, 20, of 419 E. Washington St., is facing 20 counts of possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor and one count of distribution. Each count carries a sentence of one to five years in prison upon conviction.
The grand jury will decide whether to indict Gray on the allegations and send the case to circuit court, or dismiss the case.
Gray is being held in the Clark County Detention Center on a $10,000 cash bond.
According to court documents, the Kentucky State Police received a tip in August from the National Center for Missing or Exploited Children about an image that was posted in an online chatroom. Detectives tracked the IP address of the user who posted the image to a customer at 419 E. Washington St.
Detectives searched the residence on Oct. 26, the day Gray was arrested, and seized a cell phone, two tablet computers, a laptop computer and a computer hard drive for forensic examination.
