The father of one of the men charged in the torture case in Logan county is now facing some legal troubles himself. Clinton Combs is the father of Danny Combs.

A young teenage girl has come forward to say Combs has been sexually assaulting her since she was four years old. Combs was a close family friend of the girl.

State police tell us tonight they aren't done with their investigation and they think more victims will come forward. They say one of them is a family member.

Combs is 45 and he is from Harts.

Danny Combs is set to go on trial in August.
He's accused holding Megan Williams captive in Logan County for more than a week. Police say that is where Combs was among a group of people that physically and sexually abused Williams.

To me: you would care if it involved your family member or loved one. How heartless of you to take the time to READ the story, and then post a comment like that. If you truly didn't care why even read this story?? I'd guess you are either related to the suspects in this case or you are a good friend of theirs.

It is very brave for this girl to come forward. We all should thank her for doing so. Child molesters never molest only one child, so she's not the only one. I hope others, especially those who are adults now will come forward as well. People like this have to be stopped. What they do leaves scars for a lifetime.

Kind of very cold hearted for "me" to post that very rude comment below. There is one thing about hearing about Megan Williams continuously on the news...which in my opinion, is a very noteworthy piece of news since she is a human being... but to be so rude and cold regarding a grown man with children and grandchildren of his own, sexually assaulting a child or children is pathetic. Honestly if you are tired of hearing about "anything that has to do with this case" then stop watching the news and stay off of this website.
