NEWTON FALLS – A Newton Falls man accused of sexually assaulting a young woman had his case bound over to a Trumbull County grand jury Tuesday.

Terry L. Weekly, 55, faces a charge of rape in connection with the reported rape of a minor in the Newton Falls School District. Superintendent Andreas Johansson confirmed that the attack did not take place on school grounds, but was reported to school authorities.

“We will always do what is best for children and support children at any level we can.” Johansson said.

Weekly was arrested Thursday after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

He remains in the Trumbull County Jail on $250,000 bond following a hearing Tuesday in Newton Falls Municipal Court. If he is released, he is prohibited from having contact with minors.

His next court action will depend on the outcome of the grand jury’s review of the case. According to a Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office report, the attack happened on October 22.
