A Kentucky State Police trooper was charged with misdemeanor child abuse in Hardin County, according to court records.
Robert Moster III was charged late last month for allegedly kicking an 8-year-old on August 27 and causing injuries because the child left home and went to a neighbor’s house without permission, according to a criminal complaint.
Moster posted a $1,000 bond and was released from jail on September 27.
He is not allowed to have any contact with the victim, can’t drink alcohol or possess a weapon as part of his bond conditions.
A spokeswoman for the Kentucky State Police said in a statement, Moster has been placed on administrative leave.
Moster will be arraigned October 21.
A special judge has been assigned to the case given Moster works for the Elizabethtown Kentucky State Police Post and has several pending cases in front of the Hardin County judges.
