A convicted child rapist and registered sex offender has been indicted by a Davidson County grand jury on more than 40 counts, including rape of a child.

Michael Wayne Ingram, who was convicted of raping a boy in 1991, was indicted on three counts of rape of a child and a slew of other charges, including aggravated sexual battery, attempted statutory rape, reckless endangerment, driving under the influence and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The crimes Ingram is accused of were committed between August and November, according to the indictment.

Police arrested Ingram on Stewarts Ferry Pike in the early morning hours of Dec. 8, 2007. He is accused of being drunk and driving around with five boys, ages 12 to 13.

Police said he might have met one of the boys through a MySpace page on the Internet.

The boys were having a sleepover when Ingram, the report said, called and asked to meet them for the evening.

When patrol officers stopped Ingram, he was so intoxicated he could barely stand, and officers were unable to give him a series of field-sobriety tasks, the report said.
