A Warren man will spend time in county jail and register as a sexual offender for 15 years as a result of a sentence handed down in county court.

Chase A. Bies, 20, was sentenced to a minimum of six months in the county jail on a count of indecent assault in addition to one year probation on a count of corruption of minors. He entered no contest pleas back in November to the two charges before Judge Gregory Hammond.

According to police, Bies brought alcoholic drinks to the home of a 15-year-old girl in March 2021.

“They both drank together and the victim advised that Chase pushed drinks on her to the point she became intoxicated and went to bed,” according to the affidavit of probable cause.

The victim then reported that she felt Bies in bed with her, inappropriately touching her.

“She was afraid of him and pretended she was asleep until he was done,” according to the affidavit.

District Attorney Rob Greene said at the time the plea was entered that he spoke with the victim and her mother and all parties are “in agreement” that the plea is “appropriate.”

Hammond asked Bies’ counsel, Kelvin Morris, why his client is pleading no contest.

“Because Mr. Bies is accepting responsibility,” Morris said.
