LISBON — The case against an East Liverpool man accused of raping a child under the age of 10 from 2014 to 2015 was among the open indictments issued by the Columbiana County Grand Jury this week.

Brian David McCune, 41, Dale Street, was indicted for rape, a first-degree felony, and gross sexual imposition, a third-degree felony. He remains jailed under a $500,000 cash or surety bond.

An affidavit filed by a St. Clair Township Police detective in county municipal court said he was made aware of a sexual assault by Columbiana County Children Services and that McCune was the alleged perpetrator of the sexual conduct.

The affidavit said that McCune came to the station to speak with the detective on March 3 and allegedly admitted to performing the sexual acts on the child victim in the time period 2014 to 2015 in the child’s bedroom in St. Clair Township. The child would have been 8 or 9 years old at the time.

The charge carries a possible penalty of life in prison due to the age of the victim at the time of the offense.

Also issued open indictments were John K. Douglas, 28, Mulberry Street, East Liverpool, and Lynsey Carroll, 21, also Mulberry Street, East Liverpool, each charged with first-degree felony aggravated burglary and misdemeanor assault. Douglas and Carroll allegedly kicked in the back door of a Mulberry Street, East Liverpool residence on March 3 after an argument about a pizza delivered, then Douglas chased a woman up the stairs, threw her phone and shoved a mattress into her. Carroll allegedly struck the woman in the face with her fist.

The county grand jury met for two days and examined 61 cases, issuing one superseding indictment, 22 open indictments and 38 secret indictments.

A superseding indictment was issued against Mark E. Durbin, 55, Warren, who had already been indicted for tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony, and misdemeanors of possessing drug abuse instruments and illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia. New charges added include possession of heroin and possession of fentanyl-related compound, both third-degree felonies and aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony. The charges stem from an Oct. 10, 2022 traffic stop in Columbiana when he allegedly possessed multiple empty syringes and some full syringes and threw multiple folds containing an unknown substance on the ground from his pocket which he admitted contained fentanyl. The indictment alleged he also possessed methamphetamine, and more than 50 but less than 100 doses of heroin and fentanyl-related compound.
