Former Owensboro Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Matthew Constant was released from the Daviess County Detention Center on Wednesday after posting bond nearly a week ago.
Constant, 51, has been charged by Kentucky State Police with procuring or promoting the use of a minor and tampering with physical evidence. Prosecutors said last week that federal charges could be filed at a later date.
Constant’s bond was reduced on August 10 to a partially secured $35,000 bond, meaning he only had to pay $3,500 to be released from jail. He posted bond on August 9, but the delayed release was due to issues with the ankle monitor company, officials have said.
Stipulations of his release included wearing an ankle monitor (which had to be placed before leaving DCDC); remaining at a designated residence except for a medical emergency or court orders; no contact with minors; and no use of any electronics, including a computer or a cell phone.
Constant’s case will now be presented before a grand jury for possible indictment. The grand jury is set to meet in early September, and jury sessions are not open to the public.
