Episode 448, Sep 20, 2022, 03:00 PM
The communications department chair at UK was detained over the weekend on charges of incest and sexual abuse.
Kevin Real, 65, was arrested on accusations of incest, first-degree sexual abuse of a child under 12, and first-degree sodomy, according to jail records. His bond is $15,000 dollars.
The Kentucky Kernel, citing the arrest record, claims that Real initially sexually molested the 6-year-old relative on multiple occasions. Allegedly more abuse occurred in July.
An award-winning educator, Real's "research interests concern organizational and team communication in healthcare, design, and construction contexts," as stated on the website for the Department of Communication at the University of Kentucky.
He received a Research Excellence Award from the university and a Teaching Excellence Award from the College of Communication and Information. After working as an associate professor at UK since 2002, Real was elevated to full professor in 2019.
According to the Kentucky Kernel, Real took over as department chair in 2020.
The Kentucky Kernel was informed by a University of Kentucky representative that Real is currently on administrative leave.
In an email to teachers and employees, Dean Jennifer Greer allegedly described the incident as "terribly disturbing to our community."
Reportedly written by Greer, the email read, "Do know that all involved are taking this situation seriously, and we are working through established university channels."
According to the case docket, the preliminary hearing for Real will take place on October 7.
