EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio – An East Liverpool man facing multiple rape charges may now be preparing to enter a plea agreement.
Brett Thompson, 20, had been scheduled to go to trial Monday on four counts of rape stemming from alleged incidents in October 2023. Court officials indicated this week that the case may shift toward a negotiated plea instead of proceeding to trial.
No further details about the potential agreement have been released, and the court has not yet scheduled a hearing on the matter. Thompson remains charged in connection with the four alleged assaults as the case continues through the legal process.
