Overview
- A White County grand jury charged Bradley Reynolds with three felony counts of making false statements to law enforcement during a March 2024 interview.
- Jurors allege he denied any sexual relationship with the accuser, denied controlling an email account tied to more than 300 messages, and denied telling her his wife would die and he would make her his second wife.
- A judge issued an arrest warrant and set bond at $30,000, and authorities say Reynolds, believed to be living in Texas, has been given time to surrender as they coordinate his return to Georgia.
- The investigation followed allegations by former student and employee Hayley Swinson, who reported grooming and sexual abuse and provided emails the university later described as sexually explicit and theologically twisted.
- Truett McConnell trustees removed President Emir Caner in September after an investigator presented findings, and the district attorney reopened the case after sheriff’s investigators initially declined to seek charges.
