Description:
Pikeville, Kentucky criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with rape.
When the victim in this matter, A.C., was four years old, Keene married A.C.'s mother, Angel Keene (Angel). In November 2013, Keene was investigated for assaulting Angel, and Child Protective Services (CPS) began monitoring A.C. Shortly thereafter, A.C. was removed from the home of Keene and Angel, and placed in the care of Keene's mother, Donna Keene (Donna). On November 23, 2013, in coordination with CPS's prevention plan, Donna transported A.C. to Judy's Place, a support home for abused children. Once at Judy's Place, A.C. submitted to a forensic interview in which she denied that Keene had sexually abused her. However, during a second interview at Judy's Place on April 1, 2014, A.C. recanted her previous statements and provided numerous details of rape and physical abuse by Keene. With the information A.C. provided in the second interview, Keene was indicted in Pike County on three counts of first degree rape, which occurred between July 1, 2013 and January 27, 2014. A.C. was eleven years old at the time of each rape.
