Lexington police are looking for a man who left his own sexual assault trial around three Thursday afternoon, just before the verdict was read. Officers want the public to know, 29 year old John Buckley is dangerous.
“Because of his training, because of his background, we know he has the skills to fight very well and to be combative at a very high level,” says police spokesperson, Sherelle Roberts.
Thursday was the last day of Buckley’s sexual assault trial. He’s charged with sodomy, rape, assault, and unlawful imprisonment. Jurors came back with at least one guilty verdict, but buckley never heard it.

“The jury had gone out to deliberate and when they returned Mr. Buckley was gone,” Roberts says.
Buckley was being monitored by ankle bracelet. After skipping out, police think he took it off.
Police won’t discuss Buckley’s criminal past, nor do they know his mental state. What they can say, is this:
“This man is dangerous. If you see him, call 911 immediately. Don’t try to make contact with him yourself, don’t try to apprehend him, please call police as soon as you see him,” Roberts says.
Police aren’t sure if Buckley is from Lexington, or knows anyone in the area. No leads at this point where he could be headed.
