According to an arrest report, which was heavily edited to omit certain parts, the abuse happened more than one time between 2011 and 2013.

A detective noted in the report that the victim’s statements were consistent with statements from a witness.

The detective also stated that when he first made contact with Gambill in June to discuss the allegations, Gambill was waiting to go to jail and was expecting a warrant for his arrest.  

As of Friday afternoon, Gambill remained in the Clay County jail without bond, online jail records show.
