Tommy Shelton, 64, of Marion, Kentucky, was charged with two counts of aggravated sexual battery, two counts of indecent liberties with a minor, and sodomy.

In March 2008, a 27-year-old man contacted police to report that he had been molested by Shelton when he was 12 to 14 years old. Then, in November of 2008, a 22-year-old man contacted police to report that he had been molested by Shelton when he was 8 to 9 years old.
