Mammoth Cave Man Faces Sexual Abuse, Sodomy Charges

Felony Charges Carry Penalties Of Up To 25 Years In Prison

Darren Doyle, story:
A Mammoth Cave man was arrested by the Kentucky State Police on Tuesday, December 12th, and is facing felony sexual abuse charges involving a juvenile.

According to the KSP arrest citation obtained from the Edmonson County Circuit Clerk's Office, Jordan Roy Sanders, (26), of Mammoth Cave was arrested and charged with Sexual Abuse (first degree) and Sodomy (first degree.

According to the citation, an unnamed juvenile female accused Sanders of both exposing himself and forcing himself upon her at the juvenile's work. The citation stated that the juvenile later notified authorities and through KSP's communication with the Commonwealth Attorney's office, a "probable cause arrest would be warranted based on the information from the victim."

He was then located at his residence and arrested, according to the citation. He was then transported to the Hart County Jail where he was released on a $10,000 cash bond on December 14th with restrictions, as confirmed by the jail.

The citation further stated that Sanders admitted to urinating in the presence of the juvenile but denied the other allegations. Sanders pleaded not guilty to both charges at Tuesday's Edmonson District Court. A pretrial hearing has been scheduled for January 2, 2018 at 8am. 

If found guilty on the sexual assault charge, Sanders faces 1-5 years in prison, and 10-20 years if found guilty of sodomy.
