\nKentucky State Police Post 4 arrested two men Tuesday, July 8, following the conclusion of two separate child sexual abuse investigations in Grayson County.<\/p>\n
Although the arrests occurred on the same day, these are two independent investigations involving different victims and unrelated circumstances, according to Kentucky State Police.<\/p>\n
Both investigations began in April 2026 and were conducted by detectives with Kentucky State Police Post 4. Upon completion of each investigation, Detective Travis Dalton and Detective Kevin Dreisbach presented their cases separately to a Grayson County Grand Jury, which returned indictments against both individuals.
