Muncie Volunteer Has Sex with Minor

Muncie, IN
Adam Maxwell is accused of betraying the trust of parents. He worked as a volunteer for The Spirit of South Marching Band Booster Club. The group helps train band members for Muncie Southside High School.

Police accuse the 21-year-old of using his position to have sex with a 16-year-old Muncie student.

“Having a sexual relationship is a powerful thing for people and he couldn’t overcome the feelings he had for the girl,” said Sgt. Linda Cook with Muncie Police.

Investigators believe Maxwell and the girl started the relationship during the summer.

Their cover-up came to an abrupt end when the victim's father found a nude photo of Maxwell on his daughter’s phone. The father called police. Investigators questioned Maxwell who admitted to having a sexual relationship with the girl.
