Crestwood man who fled to Miami with teen now faces additional charges

A Crestwood man accused of rape and sodomy after he fled to Miami with a 15-year-old girl in 2011 has been indicted for additional criminal charges. 

OC Jail

Toby Mason has been housed in the Oldham County Jail since July 2011.

Toby Mason, now 54, skipped town in May 2011 with a teenager he met while playing video games. The teenager had packed clothes and toiletries during the night and left a note on her pillow explaining she wanted an adventure. 

Ten days later, U.S. Marshals located the teenager in a Miami motel room with Mason and another man. Mason did not have a car, and the teenager did not have a driver’s license.

In 2011, an Oldham County grand jury indicted Mason for unlawful transaction with a minor 16 or younger involving an illegal sexual act; unlawful transaction with a minor 16 or younger involving an illegal controlled substance; five counts rape; five counts sodomy; and custodial interference.

His trial was scheduled to begin Monday, but has since been postponed.

Today, an Oldham County grand jury indicted Mason on additional criminal charges.
