Kentucky Woman Indicted in Sex Case

(Bloomfield, Kentucky) A 38-year-old local woman, Shirley Ann Hardin, has been indicted for allegedly causing a minor to engage in homosexual sexual performance.

Police said two weeks ago, she bought alcohol for an 18-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy, and then coerced the minor to engage in a sexual act.

"Once the alcohol was purchased, she drank with the juvenile. The juvenile became intoxicated. She told one juvenile to do certain things to an 18-year-old male, which eventually led to the male committing sodomy against a 15-year-old minor," said Nelson County Sheriff's Department Detective Ed Mattingly.

Brad McIntire, the 18-year-old, was later indicted on the charge of sodomy and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

A grand jury indicted Hardin for the use of a minor in a sexual performance and unlawful transaction with a minor.

Apparently, Hardin is known around the town of Bloomfield (pop. less than 1,000) as a troublemaker.
