On June 30, Clermont County Prosecutor Mark J. Tekulve announced that a Clermont County Grand Jury
returned a direct indictment against Dean Price Jr., age 44, of Pierce Township, Ohio. Price was indicted
on June 30 on a total of twenty-seven counts of Rape, felonies of the first degree. If convicted
on all counts, Price faces life in prison.
While incarcerated in the Clermont County jail on unrelated crimes, Price reached out to Clermont County
Sheriff’s Office Detectives to confess to his horrid past. Price told Detectives that several years ago, he
raped his girlfriend’s daughter, who was under the age of ten. Detectives investigated the matter and
determined through Price’s confession and confirmation from the victim, now an adult, that Price had
repeatedly raped a female child, under the age of ten from June of 2006 until February of 2007 in Clermont
County Ohio.
I want to thank Sheriff Leahy and his investigators for their great work on this case.
“My office is committed to ensuring that justice is served and Price takes his last breath in prison.”
