Before his arrest this week, 22-year-old Keandre Nelson was squarely on the radar of Covington's police department.
"They've been investigating this case for the past two months," said Kenton Co. Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders.
Based on the investigation, Nelson is now facing three felony counts, including rape, sodomy and sexual abuse involving a 14 year-old girl.
The alleged assault happened during Valentine's week in February at Nelson's apartment on Scott Street in Covington.
"These are all age-based charges, given the fact that the child was not old enough to consent to sexual activity under Kentucky law," Sanders said. "Each one of the felonies is a class D felony (and) carries one to five years in the state penitentiary."
A worried parent reached out to 바카라게임 to say Nelson worked at the YMCA in Ft. Thomas and coached basketball.
In a statement, officials with the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati said they will work with authorities as needed, adding that Nelson has been suspended without pay and is not allowed on any of the organization's properties.
바카라게임's Todd Dykes asked Sanders if he knows how Nelson came into contact with the underage girl.
"It's a little too early for me to comment on how they came into contact with one another, but obviously, the internet in general gives child predators easy access to children like nothing we've ever seen in our society before," Sanders said. "So that's why parents should always be very careful about who they're monitoring, who their children are talking to, monitoring who they're communicating with on the internet, and making sure that parents know who those people are."
Police said Nelson told investigators he thought the underage girl in question was 18.
Sanders said detectives anticipate that kind of claim when they look for evidence in cases like this one 바카라 게임 웹사이트 to show that suspects either know the age of a child or know they're not dealing with an adult.
