LISBON — A man and a woman from the same North Ellsworth Avenue, Salem address charged with rape and multiple other sex-related acts against two children entered not guilty pleas during arraignment Thursday in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court.

Mark E. Knight, 57, is facing 15 counts while Jan. M. McHenry, 40, is facing 12 counts. Each of them is scheduled to face a pretrial at 1 p.m. April 17 before Common Pleas Court Judge Megan Bickerton, who was assigned both cases and handled the arraignments.

Knight and McHenry appeared via video from the Columbiana County Jail where they both remain in custody under bonds of $100,000 cash or surety. Knight was in a wheelchair. Defense attorney Terry Grenga was appointed to represent Knight while defense attorney James Wise was appointed to represent McHenry.

Both Knight and McHenry are each charged with three counts of third-degree felony gross sexual imposition for allegedly having sexual contact with a child from Nov. 16, 2014 through Nov. 15, 2017 beginning when the child was just seven years old.

They’re each charged with three counts of rape, a first-degree felony, for allegedly having sexual conduct with that same child from Nov. 16, 2017 through Nov. 15, 2020 beginning when the child was 10 years old.

Both are charged with six counts each of sexual battery, a third-degree felony, for allegedly having sexual conduct with that same child from Nov. 16, 2020 through Nov. 15, 2023 beginning at age 13 and with a different child from April 10, 2019 through Nov. 25, 2025 beginning when that child was 10 years old.

Knight is facing an additional three counts of gross sexual imposition for allegedly having sexual contact with the first child from Nov. 16, 2017 through Nov. 15, 2020.
