An Olive Hill man was arrested last week for allegedly sexually abusing his foster children.
James M. Layne, 29, of Olive Hill, was arrested Oct. 16 after the Kentucky State Police received a complaint of sexual abuse involving two juvenile females at a foster home on Grahn Road.
During the course of the investigation it was determined that sexual contact had occurred between Layne and two juvenile females, reportedly 14 and 15, who were in the care of Layne.
He was charged with two counts of first degree sexual abuse and is lodged in the Carter County Detention Center.
The investigation is ongoing by KSP Trooper John Marcum.
