SALYERSVILLE, Ky. — A Magoffin County man has been arrested on rape and incest charges, after a female relative accused of him of having sex with her.

Dewayne Hunt, 58, of Salyersville, is charged with second-degree rape, incest and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse. The girl, who is now 17, reported that the rape occurred four years ago, when she was 13.

When interviewed about the allegations, Hunt reportedly denied having sex with her, but did admit to having her touch him on three occasions. However, the police report indicates he contradicted his denial later during the interview.

Hunt was booked in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center, where he continues to be held on a $100,000 cash bond.
