A Frankfort man was indicted Wednesday on sex charges after allegedly abusing a young girl he was babysitting.
Shawn Reffett, 29, 5134 Georgetown Road, is charged with first-degree sexual abuse of a girl under 12, his indictment said.
Reffett, who prosecutors say has no known prior offenses in Kentucky, was babysitting the girl Oct. 3 when he "subjected a female child to sexual contact."
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Dana Todd told The State Journal Wednesday children in the home immediately reported the alleged offense to their mother, who called police.
Reffett did not physically harm the girl, Todd said. No other indictments were returned by the Franklin County grand jury.
