A man convicted of child molestation was arrested Saturday on a warrant for failing to register as a sex offender. Jason Kincaid, 41, is charged with failure to register as a sex or violent offender, a felony. He’s also charged with misdemeanors for domestic battery, false identity statement and possession of marijuana. In 2008, Kincaid pleaded guilty to a child molestation charge. He appeared to have been released from the department of correction in 2012, based on records from MyCase, Indiana’s public case summary service. He was convicted on a failure to register charge in 2013 and was charged with failure to register again in October. Police were called Saturday afternoon to the B-Line Trail Switchyard Trailhead after a witness said they saw a man striking a woman, Bloomington Police Sgt. Pam Gladish said. The responding officer took descriptions from the witness. A second officer was called to the scene and found the couple. The second officer found Kincaid and Beverly Gentry, 49, on South Walnut Street. While pulling up, the officer saw Gentry strike Kincaid in the back of the head. Gentry, who appeared intoxicated, said she and Kincaid were in a relationship. She said she did not hit Kincaid. She was arrested on a misdemeanor battery charge. Kincaid gave a name and birthdate other than his own when the officer first approached him, Gladish said. He was arrested on the domestic battery charge. After handcuffing him, police found a leafy green substance believed to be marijuana on his person. Gentry gave police Kincaid’s real name during an interview at the Monroe County Correctional Center, Gladish said. Police then found the active warrant for failure to register. His bond on that charge is set at $50,000. Jack Evans

Tom Allen’s recent hires signal fresh vision for IU’s offense By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu | @JordanGuskey
IU’s new offensive coordinator joked at his introductory press conference that he might need a little help from IU Coach Tom Allen with play calling from time to time. However, don’t expect Allen to have too much of a hand in what Mike DeBord has planned. “I want to run the defense and be able to manage the team,” said Allen, who will remain IU’s defensive coordinator in addition to being the team’s head coach. “That’s my philosophy going forward, and on game day I want to call the defense and manage the game. In order to do that I

had to hire an offensive coordinator that I totally trusted to allow him to be a head coach of the offense.” DeBord left the Tennessee Volunteers of Knoxville, Tennessee, and the SEC for IU and the Big Ten when Allen came calling. DeBord said he didn’t know he’d have an opportunity like this when IU named Allen head coach after Kevin Wilson’s resignation but knew he’d make the trip if Allen did. The Muncie, Indiana, native said both he and Allen agree the Hoosiers need to run the ball, score in the red zone and take care of the ball. “I’ve worked for a lot of head coaches,” DeBord said. “I’ve worked for Hall of Fame coaches, and I wanted to work for

Tom Allen.” Allen’s trust comes from a long-lasting relationship with DeBord. The latter, who is also IU’s new tight ends coach, has known Allen’s family since 1979. New wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator Grant Heard’s familiarity with Allen dates back nearly a decade and includes stops at Lambuth University, Arkansas State and Ole Miss.

A change in venue was requested Thursday for the trial of a former IU ballet teacher accused of sexually assaulting multiple students. Guoping Wang, 54, has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual battery and criminal confinement. Wang had worked as a dance coach and lecturer with the Jacobs School of Music until he was fired in May. The request for change of venue was rooted in concerns about finding fair jurors, Wang’s attorney, SEE TRIAL, PAGE 6
As January brings a new year and a new semester, it also brings in a busy month for the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services. At this time last year, Bloomington received a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index. This perfect score highlights Bloomington as one of the most LGBT-inclusive cities in the nation in 2015. Doug Bader, the director of the GLBT office, said the month kicks off with an announcement of a name change for the GLBT office. There will be more information Monday after a press release. After this event for the GLBT office, the office will co-sponsor an event with Union Board for Kate Bornstein on Jan. 17. Bornstein is a prominent, long-time trans activist. The GLBT office and Union Board will work together again six
days later to co-sponsor the Legacy Wall with an opening reception. The Legacy Wall is a traveling exhibit that is part of the Legacy Project in Chicago. The project displays monuments for LGBT activists. The Legacy Wall will spend two weeks in the Indiana Memorial Union’s East Lounge. Bauder said the exhibit will give people a chance to reflect on queer peoples’ contributions and on our larger culture. The opening reception at 7 p.m. Jan. 23 in the IMU’s East Lounge will begin the exhibit’s two weeks on campus. To finish the busy month for the GLBT office, the Bloomington PRIDE Film Festival will take place Jan. 26-28. Though the event is put on by Bloomington PRIDE, Bauder said the film festival originally started as a student project about 15 years ago. “It’s really a community event,” he said. “It started with a couple of our students coming to us, but it has expanded to a community
