Boyd County Grand Jury Indicts WV Man

  • {Kentucky}...A Boyd County Grand Jury has indicted 59 year old Otis Adkins, a man from Lincoln County, West Virginia, on child sex charges. Ashland Police arrested Adkins of Branchland in July on a charge of unlawful use of electronic means to induce a minor to engage in sexual or other prohibited activities. An undercover investigation by the Internet Crimes Against Children unit led officers to an ad Adkins placed on Craigslist in which he offered $300 to meet a 15 year old female, actually an undercover Ashland Police Officer, at a fast food restaurant for sex. Police say, after Adkins traveled approximately one hour to arrive at the location, he approached the undercover officer and talked about obtaining a hotel room. He was then arrested by officers with the task force. If found guilty, Adkins could face up to five years in prison.
