Kevin O’Donnell Allegations

O’Donnell Arrested, Accused Of Enticement. “Kevin O’Donnell, 22, has been charged with one count of attempted online enticement of a minor — meaning he intended to convince a person who is younger than 18 years old to engage in sexual contact. He was indicted Wednesday in U.S. District Court. Court documents in the case allege an undercover FBI agent got in touch with O’Donnell through a social media website and O’Donnell asked to meet at a location in person after having a conversation with sexual context, despite the agent having identified themselves as a 14-year-old girl. O’Donnell was arrested when he arrived at the target location, the charging document said, where he said he “made a bad decision tonight” and admitted receiving a message that the person he was talking to was 14, though he said he “wasn’t actually going to engage in the sexual acts” the two had discussed.” [Courier Journal]

O’Donnell Reassigned In 2022. “Kevin O’Donnell, a pitching coach at Eastern High School last season, had been working as a science teacher at Meyzeek Middle School until last Tuesday. Letters went out from Eastern High School’s principal to baseball parents and Meyzeek Middle School’s principal to families addressing the situation, saying a staff member was reassigned and would not have contact with students amid the investigation. The letters did not address O’Donnell by name, but JCPS later confirmed his name with The Courier Journal.” [Courier Journal]
