SEYMOUR — A Jackson Circuit Court jury failed to reach a verdict Tuesday at the end of the trial of a former Crothersville boys basketball head coach accused of child solicitation.
Because the jury could not come up with a unanimous verdict after the two-day trial of Gregory T. Kilgore, a retrial will be set upon the request of both parties.
Kilgore is accused of sending inappropriate messages to a 14-year-old female student. He was arrested March 25, 2020, on the Level 5 felony charged and booked into the Jackson County Jail in Brownstown. He was released after posting a $1,000 bond on April 2, 2020.
Kilgore was suspended by Crothersville Community School Corp. after the allegations were made, and on April 3, 2020, he submitted his resignation as athletic director, junior-senior high school aide and golf coach and retirement as boys basketball coach.
