Kentucky State Police Post 1 received a report of an inappropriate sexual relationship between an adult male and a juvenile female on March 18.

Kentucky State Police say Joshua Booth, 28, of Bardwell had engaged in sexual intercourse and oral sexual gratification with a 16-year-old female in Carlisle County.

KSP troopers determined Booth was aware of the juvenile’s age at the time of the sexual relationship, according to KSP.

Booth was arrested on March 25 and charged with rape 3rd degree, sodomy 3rd degree and unlawful transaction with a minor – illegal sex act.

Wilson is also accused of tampering with the cameras and removing them prior to KSP troopers executing a search warrant at the home.

Wilson was arrested on March 24 and charged with video voyeurism, possession of  matter portraying sexual performance by a minor, and tampering with physical evidence.
