The case against a Cambridge area resident accused of harboring a runaway girl and giving her illegal narcotics was bound over to the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court on Thursday.
Jesse A. Law, 43, Cambridge, faces one count of corrupting another with drugs, a second-degree felony. The decision to bind the felony case over to the higher court was made Thursday during a preliminary hearing in the Cambridge Municipal Court.
The victim s age, 17, was a factor in the filing of the felony offense, according to Guernsey County Sheriff s Major Jeremy Wilkinson.
Law also faces a third-degree misdemeanor count of interference with custody filed by deputies in the municipal court for allegedly harboring the teen after she ran away from home.

A Girard woman who once faced an attempted murder charge for a shooting last May on Lakeside Drive in Cambridge, was recently sentenced to 10 months in prison as the result of a negotiated plea agreement that led to a conviction for obstructing justice.
Rebecca L. Montgomery, 32, was given credit for time served in the Guernsey County Jail following her arrest on May 2, 2020. The balance of the prison sentence was then suspended by the court in favor of Community Control Sanctions.
Montgomery was convicted of the fifth-degree felony on Nov. 6, 2020, after pleading guilty to a bill of information filed with the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court eight days earlier.
