Police in Ohio say a co-founder of ’70s hitmakers KC and The Sunshine Band has admitted to having sex with teenage boys.
Finch, a music producer and former bassist for the group responsible for disco hits such as “Shake Your Booty” and “Keep It Comin’ Love,” was arrested Tuesday after a boy told authorities he’d had sexual contact with him at Finch’s home in Newark, the Licking County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
Cops claim Finch admitted he’d had sex with that boy and others ranging in age from 13 to 17. The musician was promptly arrested and is being held on $250,000 bond.
A message posted on Finch’s website Wednesday branded the sex abuse allegations baseless.
“We will let due process happen through the legal system and through that, we are sure Mr. Finch will be vindicated from these unfounded allegations.”
