Joint effort lands Kansas man in jail on charges out of Kentucky
A joint investigation between Kentucky and Kansas law enforcement agencies has landed a man in jail on child sex crime charges.
Justin R. Bevitt of Topeka, Kansas, is currently incarcerated in Shawnee County, Kansas, pending extradition to Kentucky.
According to Kentucky State Police Post Three, troopers received a call from a family reporting that a juvenile had left their home with a 41-year-old male. Troopers began investigating and found that Bevitt had several previous encounters with the juvenile. A search warrant was obtained for Bevitt’s property, which was served by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation on Friday.
While executing the search warrant, KBI agents placed Bevitt under arrest on charges out of Kentucky including Procuring or Promoting the Use of a Minor, Unlawful Transaction with a Minor, and Distribution of Matter Portraying a Sexual Performance by a Minor.
Additional charges against Bevitt out of Kansas are pending. The investigation by the KBI and KSP is ongoing.
