A 17-year-old former Covington Catholic High School student will be tried as an adult in a rape case, according to Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders.
Joseph Eubank was indicted Thursday on one count of rape in the first degree and three counts of sexual abuse in the first degree, according to court documents. The indictment states the incidents occurred on or between Feb. 1, 2017 and March 31, 2019.
Sanders said that each of the four charges pertains to a different victim. Each of those victims, he said, are teenage girls.
Eubank turned 17 while in custody after he was arrested in April, Sanders said. He was between 14 and 16 when the incidents occurred.
Eubank was listed as a sophomore on the Covington Catholic High School basketball team in March 2019, according to a Kentucky High School Athletic Association roster.
Sanders said Eubank remains in juvenile detention.
