‼️PARIS ATTORNEY TAKES PLEA DEAL ON MULTIPLE CHARGES

By Jesse Joseph, Carroll County Observer

Former Paris attorney Michael Ainley accepted a negotiated plea in Henry County Circuit Court related to three amended assault charges and one additional felony charge of introducing contraband into a penal institution.

Two of the assault charges were reduced from sexual battery offenses, and the third was reduced from a misdemeanor assault.

Under the plea agreement, Ainley will receive judicial diversion. He will serve a five-year probation sentence.

Ainley also agreed to permanent disbarment in every state where he has held a license. He is also barred from contacting the victims and is required to close his law practice.

The hearing to confirm the plea and impose sentence is scheduled for January 9, 2026
