NEWARK, Ohio— The man behind pop-music classics Get Down Tonight and Boogie Shoes has been arrested in Licking County and accused of having sexual contact with a teenage boy. Richard Finch, 56, co-founder of KC and the Sunshine Band, was arrested Tuesday by deputies with the Licking County sheriff's office. He is being held on a $250,000 bond on a charge of gross sexual imposition, according to court records.

A boy contacted the sheriff's office last week, saying Finch had sexual contact with him at Finch's home, Sgt. Chris Slayman said.

Correct-I think many posters are thinking the guy in question is KC.

oh good grief lighten up and look at the post i responded to. it is possible to decry sexual abuse and to still laugh about the names of the roadways etc. i refuse to bow to this type of PC crap, which is what i’d expect of a liberal. because someone can make light of something in this story in no way connotes a support for or lack of outrage about the crime involved. this is FREE REPUBLIC, if i have to preface a post with a disclaimer that i hate the idea of sexual abuse of a minor before responding that is just SAD.

In the state of Kentucky, and this is the God's Honest truth, where Beaver Road and Big Bone Road meet, there is a Big Bone Lick State Park.

It ran on page one of the Metro & State section.

I figured you did, but I wanted everybody else to know this wasn’t KC. I lived in Ft. Lauderdale during the Disco Days and Boogie Nights era............

Big Bone Lick and Beaver Road?....................

And the Kids parents were where? I am sorry, I know the location of my children 24/7.

Sexual contact with a teenage boy in Licking County?

I swear you can't make this stuff up if you tried.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Don’t recall if it was just a rumor but I seem to recall that Finch is HIV positive.
