A plea deal has been reached in the case against Tyler Francis, who sexually abused a girl on a church bus on Easter Sunday in 2019.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling says the deal for 30-year-old Tyler Francis of Hopkinsville has him pleading guilty to first-degree sexual abuse and includes a one-year sentence, he must be registered as a sex offender, and the judge will decide on probation.
Judge John Atkins set final sentencing for October 27.
The victim told Hopkinsville police that Francis ripped off her underwear and inappropriately touched her while both were riding the church bus.
