A Russell Springs man remains in the Whitley County Detention Center following his indictment on charges involving two juveniles.

Thirty-two-year-old Baseler Lafrance was arrested by Corbin Police in late August.

At the time, police alleged Lafrance contacted two juvenile females through a dating app and offered them money for sexual acts. Investigators also reportedly found sexually explicit images of the girls on his phone.

Earlier this week, a Whitley County grand jury indicted Lafrance on two counts of unlawful transactions with a minor, two counts of promoting human trafficking involving a victim under eighteen, and possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor.

Lafrance is scheduled to appear in Whitley Circuit Court on November 2nd. An indictment is a formal accusation and does not establish guilt.
