Bluffton police are reporting the conviction of two men from Kentucky who traveled to Bluffton in February to engage in sexual conduct with a minor.
Because the men traveled across state lines, and were apprehended in Kentucky, federal charges were brought against them in connection with their crimes. The case was resolved in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Kentucky, to avoid putting the local victim through additional stress.
