A Murfreesboro lawyer has been indicted on rape charges following a TBI investigation that began in February 2019. Special Agents developed information indicating that attorney David Whelan forced or coerced female clients into sex as a way to re-pay their legal fees. This week the Rutherford County Grand Jury returned indictments charging 49-year-old David Whelan (DOB 10/24/1970) with four counts of Rape by Fraud, four counts of Rape by Coercion, and one count of Promoting Prostitution. Whelan was arrested and booked into the Rutherford County Jail on a $75,000 bond.
