A traveling veterinarian, Gregory Ford, has been arrested by the FBI in Florida in connection with the sexual assault of a juvenile. A subsequent investigation has led to additional charges in Kentucky, where authorities are seeking his extradition for the alleged rape and sodomy of another juvenile in Murray.
According to the Murray Police Department, the FBI’s initial investigation identified a potential victim in Murray, prompting federal agents to contact local authorities on October 27. Following this notification, the Murray Police conducted an independent investigation into Ford’s activities.
That investigation led to an arrest warrant for Ford on charges of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy, in connection with an alleged sexual assault of a Murray juvenile in 2024. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has confirmed it will seek Ford’s extradition to face these state-level charges in court.
Authorities have noted that Ford traveled through Murray on multiple occasions. The FBI is now publicly appealing for additional information regarding Ford and is encouraging any other potential victims to share information.
The arrest in Florida and pending extradition to Kentucky mark a significant development in a multi-state investigation. It is important to note that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
