A Bardstown man was arrested Wednesday on two felony charges of first-degree sodomy and one felony charge of first-degree rape for allegations involving three minors.

According to arrest citations from the Bardstown Police Department, the man is identified as Brian Scott Innes, 25. According to the citations, the children, all younger than 12, were placed into Innes’ care within the last two years by Child Protective Services. In separate forensic interviews with police, each of the children alleged Innes had sexually assaulted them.

Innes was mirandized following the interviews and asked for an attorney. He is scheduled to be arraigned on each of the charges in court this morning. He has no criminal history listed in Kentucky.”

REFORM Puzzle Piece

Update:“After attempting to have an indictment against him dismissed, the case against Brian Innes is moving forward in Nelson Circuit Court.

Innes was indicted in February on two counts of first-degree sodomy and one count of first-degree rape, and is accused of sexually assaulting three foster children between the ages of 6 and 11 in his care between July 2016 and December 2017.

In April, Innes’ counsel had filed a motion to have the indictment against him dismissed, claiming “prosecutorial misconduct” in how testimony from a detective was delivered to the grand jury.

In reviewing the motion, however, the court found that other evidence submitted to the grand jury was “more than adequate” to meet a burden of probable cause to return an indictment, and found no evidence of “a flagrant abuse of the grand jury process,” so the motion was denied.

A note filed in court Monday indicated the parties in the case had agreed to attend mediation and Innes’ case would be reassigned for trial Nov. 26.

Innes was originally scheduled to go to trial tomorrow.”
