A Hillsboro man has been indicted on a second-degree felony charge of endangering children involving an incident with a 3-year-old child, that left the child with "ongoing medical problems."
Gregory Kiley Jr., 34, was indicted Tuesday by a grand jury in Highland County Common Pleas Court on one count of endangering children, a felony of the first degree.
According to the indictment, Kiley allegedly "on on about April 24, 2010, did reckless abuse a child ... causing serious physical harm."

The indictment was the result of an investigation by Detectives with the Highland County Sheriff’s Office, and detectives with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office into an alleged incident from April 2010, where Kiley was accused of injuring a 3 year old child acquaintance at a local playground. The child was hospitalized as result of his/ her injuries and continues to suffer ongoing medical problems as a result of the incident.
