FRANKFORT, Ky. (March 4, 2022) – Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced today that grand jury presentations by his Special Prosecutions Unit led to the indictment of a Kentucky man for child sexual abuse.

Darrin A. Owens, 38, of Shelbyville, Kentucky, was indicted by grand juries in Trimble, Oldham, and Henry Counties for charges related to child sexual abuse of one minor in each of those counties. The Attorney General’s office pursued indictments in all three counties, given the severity of the allegations.

On October 1, 2021, a Trimble County grand jury indicted Owens for four counts of Sodomy, First Degree (Class B Felony) and two counts of Rape Second Degree with a minor (Class C Felony), and one count of Persistent Felony Offender, First Degree.

On December 10, 2021, an Oldham County grand jury indicted Owens for one county of Sodomy, First Degree with a minor (Class B Felony), one count of Rape, Third Degree with a minor (Class D Felony), and one count of Persistent Felony Offender, First Degree.

On February 25, 2022, a Henry County grand jury indicted Owens for two counts of Sodomy, First Degree (Class B Felony), one count of Rape, Third degree (Class D Felony), and one count of Persistent Felony Offender, First Degree. The Henry County grand jury has issued a warrant for his arrest.

Oldham County Police Department Sergeant Jared Ellison investigated the case, and Assistant Attorney General Rewa Zakaria presented the case in Trimble, Oldham, and Henry Counties on behalf of the Commonwealth.

The charges in an indictment are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
