An attorney who filed a lawsuit alleging a Trigg County High School student was groomed and pressured to have sex with county law enforcement during an internship says the lawsuit is directly connected to an indictment of the former sheriff.
The lawsuit, filed on Dec. 17 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky, states Layla Kunkle as a then 18-year-old high school student faced sexual advances and messages via various apps during her internship at the Trigg County Sheriff’s Office from multiple former deputies, a Cadiz Police Department officer, and former Sheriff Jason Barnes.
A Kentucky Senator from Trigg County was thanked for his service in Frankfort Monday afternoon during the Pennyrile Area Development District (PADD) Christmas Legislative Update virtual meeting.
Senator Stan Humphries of Cadiz announced that he would not seek re-election during the same meeting last year. The outgoing Senator thanked everyone he had worked with during his time in office, especially those who had conversations with him in the last year.
Board Vice-Chair and Trigg County Judge-Executive Hollis Alexander thanked Humphries for his service, especially when it came to a TVA bill.
Regarding that TVA bill, Senator Humphries said the interesting thing to come is how the state bounces back from the COVID-19 pandemic.
