Firefighter Charged in Sexual Battery

Eric Unger faces serious charges in Licking County after being indicted for sexual battery and tampering with evidence following an alleged assault on a 17-year-old girl in Utica. The victim claims Unger touched her while she slept and later sent a text admitting he was a “bad person.” Unger confessed to sending the message and deleting it, triggering the evidence tampering charge. He’s a volunteer firefighter with the Homer Village Fire Department, which remains silent, and was granted a $200,000 bond. A pretrial conference is set for July 30th, with a jury trial scheduled for August if no deal is reached. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
