SPRINGFIELD —
The Wittenberg University professor arrested last week on rape and kidnapping charges was indicted on charges from two cases Monday by a Clark County grand jury.
According to Springfield police, Hollant “Max” Adrien, 52, 0f 255 W. McCreight Ave., is connected to two kidnapping and rape cases as well as the kidnapping of a 17-year-old in Snyder Park on Oct. 4.
The Clark County Prosecutor’s Office presented charges from October and August incidents on a combined indictment, according to Prosecutor Andy Wilson.
In the latest case, the teen escaped from his attacker, who chased him in Snyder Park, struck him in the head and dragged him into his car. The victim pushed away, grabbed the man’s bag and cell phone and fled, police said.
A subpoena of cell phone records identified Adrien as the suspect, and victims identified him in a photo lineup, according to Clark County Municipal Court documents.
A similar kidnapping and rape that’s also been tied to Adrien was reported Aug. 23 this year. The victim, 19 years old, was described by police as developmentally disabled. He told officers he was walking near Pine and Kenton streets when a man approached him in a vehicle and told him, “If you get in the car, I won’t shoot you,” according to police.
He then drove the teen to New Reid Park off Leffel Lane, where he allegedly raped him. The attacker allegedly drove the victim back to Pine and Kenton streets, gave him $10 and told him to return to the intersection the next day or he would “find him and kill him,” the teen told officers. The money was taken by police as evidence.
Adrien, who’s taught French at the university since August 2011, was placed on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of his criminal case, according to the university.
Investigation continues into a third case from July 2010. Evidence from that case has not been presented to the grand jury, Wilson said.

James Cunningham, 38, 1404 Innisfallen Ave., felonious Assault and misdemeanor Domestic Violence
