The former band director at Hopkinsville High School appeared in court Friday on sex-related charges involving a former student.

According to WKDZ, 30-year-old Seth Peveler was in Christian County District Court, where his attorney asked to have his preliminary hearing continued until July 21 at 9:00 am. The lawyer also asked to have Peveler's bond reduced, and the judge agreed, but said the defendant must wear an ankle monitor.

Peveler was arrested June 5 on charges of 3rd-degree rape, 3rd-degree sodomy and 2nd degree unlawful transaction with a minor. A criminal complaint alleges that he engaged in sexual acts two different times with a member of the band, once when she was 16 and once when she was 17 years old.

WKDZ reports that an open records request revealed new details in the case, alleging that he was possibly grooming another student for possible inappropriate conduct, including allegations that he sent threatening messages to her boyfriend.

Peveler was placed on administrative leave by Christian County Schools when they learned of the allegations, and he later resigned.
