CINCINNATI â Geoff Drew, a Cincinnati Catholic priest charged with 9 counts of rape, is making a third attempt to lower his $5 million full cash bond.
The priest is accused of sexually assaulting a former altar boy from 1988 to 1991 when Drew was the music minister at St. Jude Parish in Green Township.
Drew has been held in the Hamilton County Justice Center since his arrest on Aug. 19, 2019.
On Monday, Drew s attorney, Brandon Moermond, filed the most recent motion to reduce the bond due to medical pandemic. Moermond wrote that Drew is literally fearful for his life in jail because of his higher risk of getting COVID-19.
