LOCK HAVEN – Kenneth Yerger, 28, of Longmeadow Lane, State College, was denied his release from prison on bail, during a bail hearing held on Friday, February 7^th.

On February 7, at the Clinton County Courthouse, a bail hearing before occurred the Honorable Judge Michael Salisbury; defense attorney Brian Ulmer, representing Yerger; and Clinton County District Attorney Dave Strouse, for the Commonwealth. District Attorney Strouse argued that since Yerger is facing 59 felony counts of sexual assault involving minors, which could result in Yerger facing the potential of 400 years in prison, Yeager’s $750,000 bail should remain as it stands.

On Monday, February 10, 2025, Judge Salisbury upheld Yerger’s bail. Yerger remains in the Clinton County Prison in lieu of $750,000 cash bail.

A jury trial has been scheduled for August 7^th through August 12^th, to be held at the Clinton County Court House.
