ISOM, Ky. — A couple is facing charges in Letcher County related to sexual abuse and child pornography.

Eric Banks, 46, and Nicole Combs, 33, were arrested earlier this month.

According to court records, a state trooper responded to a complaint at Isom. Following an investigation, he charged Combs with sexual abuse, sodomy and incest involving a 4-year-old. She remains in jail on a $250,000 bond.

Banks was charged with promoting a sexual performance by a minor for allegedly filming the Combs and the child on a cell phone. He is in jail on a $150,000 bond.

The cases are currently before a grand jury, which will determine if criminal prosecution will proceed.
