CLEVELAND, Ga. — Bradley Reynolds, the former vice president of academic affairs at Truett McConnell University, surrendered Monday to the White County Sheriff’s Office in connection with felony charges tied to a sexual abuse investigation.
Reynolds turned himself in Dec. 15, authorities said, after a White County grand jury indicted him earlier this month on three felony counts of false statements or writings, concealment of facts, or fraudulent documents of government.
The charges stem from statements Reynolds allegedly made to investigators during a March 2024 interview as part of an investigation involving a former student and employee. Prosecutors allege Reynolds knowingly provided false information to law enforcement during that interview.
Reynolds had been living in Texas prior to his surrender and was working at a family-owned sandwich shop in Leonard, a small town northeast of Dallas, according to booking information.
A judge previously set bond at $30,000 and allowed Reynolds time to surrender voluntarily before extradition proceedings would begin.
Reynolds resigned from Truett McConnell University in February 2024, the same day investigators interviewed him. The university has said it placed him on leave once administrators became aware of the allegations and accepted his resignation shortly afterward.
The indictment followed renewed scrutiny of the case earlier this year after a former TMU student publicly described allegations of sexual and spiritual abuse. While Reynolds has not been charged with sexual assault, the false-statements charges are directly tied to the broader investigation.
An arraignment date has not yet been announced.
