Traveling Veterinarian Gregory Ford Accused of Sexually Assaulting Juvenile in Murray, Kentucky, FBI Says
MURRAY, KENTUCKY — A traveling veterinarian already facing legal trouble in Florida has been accused of sexually assaulting a juvenile in western Kentucky, according to the Murray Police Department and the FBI.
Officials said Gregory Ford was identified as a suspect after federal agents discovered a second victim in Murray while investigating his prior sexual assault case involving a juvenile in Florida.
FBI Identifies Kentucky Victim During Florida Investigation
On November 11, the FBI contacted Murray Police after uncovering evidence linking Ford to a separate assault that occurred in Murray in 2024. Local detectives launched an independent investigation, ultimately accusing Ford of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Ford in Kentucky. Authorities confirmed he remains in custody in Florida, while Kentucky officials seek his extradition to face charges in the Commonwealth.
Police: Ford May Have Additional Victims
Investigators said Ford traveled through the Murray area multiple times in 2024 as part of his work as a mobile veterinarian, which may have given him access to multiple communities.
The FBI believes there could be additional, unidentified victims and is encouraging anyone with information to come forward. Individuals can submit tips or relevant details at:
Authorities Continue Multi-State Investigation
Law enforcement agencies in Kentucky and Florida are working together to coordinate Ford’s transfer and gather evidence from both cases. The investigation remains active, with officials emphasizing that more charges could follow as additional victims are identified.
The FBI and Murray Police have not released further details about the age or identity of the victims due to privacy protections for minors.
Residents who may have interacted with Ford or observed suspicious behavior are urged to report it immediately. For continuing updates on this developing case and public safety news across Kentucky, visit ChicagoMusicGuide.com.
