Louisville man indicted on charge of luring teen for sex

According to the indictment, Turner was stopped for speeding around 2:30 a.m. May 23 by a Franklin County sheriff's deputy.

Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Carrie Holton said the deputy noticed a juvenile passenger in the front seat. 

"(The deputy) thought it was an odd situation and looked into it a little more," Holton said.

The juvenile turned out to be a male in "provocative" female clothing, she said.

"He said they met on a dating website and was picked up by Mr. Turner," Holton said. "They were on their way to Louisville."

Holton said the deputy also reviewed a number of texts between the two of a "provocative nature," she said.
