Man arrested for alleged sexual abuse on church bus

A Hopkinsville man was arrested Sunday for alleged sexual abuse against a juvenile teenager on a church bus.

The victim told her parents and police that a male by the name of Tyler had ripped off her underwear and digitally penetrated her while on the church bus.

Hopkinsville Police officers spoke with church personnel and the bus driver and identified the suspect as 27-year old Tyler Frances of Hopkinsville. The driver told investigators where he had dropped Frances off after church and officers located him at the Hillside Terrace location.

The report says Frances admitted to inappropriately touching the victim’s private areas while on the bus and he was arrested for first-degree sexual abuse.
