HATFIELD, Ky. — A Belfry man has been arrested after he was accused of filming himself molesting three boys.
A Social Services special investigator requested a state trooper accompany her to a complaint at a home on Elkins Fork Thursday afternoon.
When they arrived, they found Robert Blankenship, 27, of Belfry, standing outside the home. After determining that he was not a parent or related to anyone in the home, they spoke to a 15-year-old, who said his parents had gone to pick up his brothers from school.
The teen then told the investigator and trooper that Blankenship had touched all three boys inappropriately and offered them sexual favors. He also showed the officials videos of Blankenship subjecting the boys to sexual contact and another video of Blankenship punching one of the boys in the face.
Blankenship was then arrested on three counts of attempted use of a minor under 16 in a sexual performance, three counts of harassment, and one count of indecent exposure. He is currently being held in the Pike County jail on a $250,000 cash bond.
