PILGRIM — A 43-year-old man was arrested Monday after a child made an outcry of sexual abuse against him.

Chad Smith of Pilgrim was being held Tuesday in Big Sandy Regional Detention Center on a charge of first-degree sexual abuse of a child.

Court records allege the victim disclosed Smith sexually abused her.

The citation issued by the Kentucky State Police states Smith “admitted he touched her on her vagina when she was 13 years old.”

According to the citation, the incident occurred at 12:45 p.m. Monday, less than two hours before Smith’s arrest around 2:30 p.m.
