Man accused of raping woman in Kettering pleads guilty, gets 3 years in prison
Jun. 18—A man who was accused of raping a woman in a Kettering apartment building's laundry room has entered an Alford plea of guilty to some of his charges and was sentenced to prison. Tyre Otey, 29, entered an Alford plea of guilty to charges of gross sexual imposition and disrupting public services, both felonies, according to plea documents filed in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court. He was sentenced to an agreed-upon three years in prison, with a year and a half in prison for each charge. An Alford plea is a guilty plea where a defendant maintains that they are innocent but still accepts the consequences of the crime, often made as part of a plea agreement. Otey was also designated a Tier I sex offender, and will have to register his address every year for 15 years. One count of rape was dismissed as part of the agreement. Otey was charged after Kettering police responded to a 911 hang-up call on Oct. 9, 2024 at an apartment building in the 1700 block of East Dorothy Lane. While checking the building, officers found two people in the shared laundry room engaged in sexual conduct, a Kettering police blotter said. "Through further investigation, it was discovered that the involved female had dialed 911 for help while being raped," the blotter read. Otey allegedly took the cellphone from her when she tried to call 911 and threw it into a trash can, according to an affidavit filed in Kettering in Municipal Court. He was arrested and booked in the Montgomery County Jail, where remains at the time of writing.

Man arrested, charged with stalking Memphis Mayor Paul Young
A 25-year-old man was arrested June 18, 2025, and charged with stalking Memphis Mayor Paul Young. (Photo: Karen Pulfer Focht for Tennessee Lookout) Memphis police arrested a man Wednesday and charged him with stalking, aggravated criminal trespass and attempted kidnapping after he went to Mayor Paul Young's house Sunday night. Trenton Abston, 25, jumped a wall leading into the subdivision in which Young and his family live, according to a Facebook post by Young. Memphis police said in a statement on Facebook that Abston walked directly to Young's home after accessing the subdivision. He had a taser, gloves, rope and duct tape in his vehicle when arrested, according to police. Police viewed public and private security camera footage after residents reported earlier this week they saw a man behaving suspiciously in the neighborhood. The incident came less than two days after Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed and a Minnesota state senator and his wife were shot multiple times by Vance Boelter, who was arrested after a two-day manhunt. 'In today's climate, especially after the tragic events in Minnesota and the threats my wife and I often receive online, none of us can be too careful,' Young wrote on Facebook. 'The link between angry online rhetoric and real-life violence is becoming undeniable.' A state representative from Memphis raised concerns about the potential for political violence in the aftermath. 'No resident — no public servant, no child, no spouse — should ever have to fear for their safety because of their service,' said Democratic Rep. Torrey Harris in a social media statement. 'Trespassing at (Young's) home and threatening his family crosses every line of human decency. This is not disagreement — this is dangerous and reckless.'
