KC and the Sunshine Band co-founder held on sex charge

NEWARK, Ohio -- Police in central Ohio say a co-founder of KC and the Sunshine Band has told them he had sex with teenage boys.

They say a boy disclosed to detectives last week Richard R. Finch had sexual contact with him at Finch's home in Newark. They say they arrested Finch on Tuesday and while being interviewed he admitted he'd had sex with that boy and others aged 13 to 17.

Finch was being held Wednesday at the Licking County sheriff's office on $250,000 bond.

A message on the Web site of Richard Finch Productions Inc. says "we are sure Mr. Finch will be vindicated."

Sgt. Kevin Biller says no date has been set for Finch's arraignment. He won't disclose the evidence that led to Finch's arrest or the possible charges.
