TAYLORSVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A Spencer County man is facing rape and incest charges after authorities say he got a 13-year-old girl pregnant.
The girl’s father tells WLKY-TV (https://bit.ly/1e4L2Ek ) that 33-year-old Jamal Hunt was living with the girl’s mother. The father says Hunt then began to abuse the girl. The girl, who police have not identified, gave birth to a child last year. Authorities say they sent DNA tests off in August and that results came in last Wednesday, confirming the baby is Hunt’s. Police arrested him Monday.
The father says and his ex-wife shared custody of their daughter. The girl’s mother died of cancer in February 2014. Two months after her mother’s death, the girl found out she was pregnant.
Hunt will be in court Thursday. It is unclear whether he has a lawyer.
