CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. (October 27, 2026) – Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 Troopers and Detectives have arrested a 17-year-old juvenile following an investigation into allegations of possession of child sexual abuse material. 

In August 2026, KSP Post 15 received a report of a 17-year-old juvenile in possession of child sexual abuse material.  Detective Zach Scott responded to a residence on Birdie Ave in Campbellsville and launched an investigation.

On October 23, 2026, the investigation was presented to the Taylor County Grand Jury, which returned an indictment on the 17-year-old juvenile, charging him with 6 counts of Use of a Minor Under 16 in a Sexual Performance and 6 counts of Possession or Viewing Matter Portraying a Sexual Performance by a Minor Over 12 but Under 18 Years of Age.  

That same evening, Master Trooper Nick Davis served the indictment on the juvenile. The juvenile was subsequently arrested, lodged at the Adair Youth Development Center, and is being held on a $250,000 bond.

The investigation remains ongoing and is being led by Detective Scott, with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
