A convicted rapist who turns 20 years old in September remains in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice's Northern Kentucky Youth Development Center.His victims were promised he would be in prison by now, but a lawsuit filed in Franklin County, outside of where any of the crimes occurred, has extended his stay in juvenile detention.Joseph Eubank, 19, is a former Covington Catholic student who pleaded guilty to raping and sexually abusing four teenage girls between 2017 and 2019. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison, with the possibility of parole after eight and a half years.Survivors of the man prosecutors call a "serial rapist" are furious he is not in prison yet."Mr. Eubank is the most prolific serial rapist that I've ever seen in my career," said Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders. In October 2020, a judge ordered Eubank to be moved to adult prison no later than five months after turning 18. Ahead of that deadline, Eubank's family sued the Department of Juvenile Justice to delay the transfer until Eubank turned 21. "This is the worst of the worst serial rapist, and here he is getting these special benefits," Sanders said. "I don't think it's any coincidence that this is the only case where we see somebody still in a juvenile facility approaching his 20th birthday, and it's also the only case where his parents have sued the Department of Juvenile Justice."Sanders recently became aware Eubank was never transferred to prison and filed a motion for Eubank to be transferred.On Monday, a judge granted Eubank's defense team three weeks to file a brief in response to that motion. Eubank's attorneys said he has been able to receive his high school diploma and is taking college classes through the juvenile system. Eubank's victims feel his needs are being placed above their own."I'm suffering the consequences of his actions every single day of my life, and he is getting off with less than what was promised to us," one victim told WLWT Monday, sharing her story publicly for the first time. WLWT is not naming the victim to protect her privacy. She said she was raped by Eubank during her sophomore year of high school. "There honestly has not been one day that has gone by where I haven't thought about what happened," she said. "No one has heard our side of the story. A lot of people don't think to consider how much this really has affected me and the other victims."The girl's mother believes the rapist's socioeconomic status is leading to him being treated differently and receiving special privileges."He committed adult crimes multiple, multiple times," she said. "As a mom, I would do anything to protect my children, and it's hard to know that sometimes it's out of your control and you can't always protect them."Investigators said Eubank's crimes started when he was 14. His victims believe it is past time he is treated like an adult. "This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but the fact that I know he's not able to do this to anyone else is kind of all I need to keep me going," the rape survivor said. "Today in court I felt completely powerless. I want to try to take some of that power back." In a statement, Eubank's defense team from Dinsmore & Shohl LLP said: "The Department of Juvenile Justice has decided, in compliance with statutory law and the Franklin Circuit Court's civil order, to retain custody of Joseph. We're confident that the Kenton Circuit Court will recognize the lawfulness of that decision."A decision is expected from a Kenton County judge within a few weeks.
