A former Madison County middle school janitor has been charged with sexual abuse connected to an incident that allegedly happened while he was working at Farristown Middle School in Berea.
63-year-old Larry Wilson was arrested on the charge on Sept. 26, but police say the incident happened in March 2024.
In May, LEX 18 spoke with the parents of the 13-year-old alleged victim in the case, who is choosing to remain anonymous.
“She was actually in the front office and called down to the janitor’s office,” explained the teen’s parents. “He told her a few things. Would you like some lunch? It went totally rogue from there. She was told she was the prettiest girl in the school and that he loves her. He gave her a hug and then his hands went down to her rear-end and made her feel really uncomfortable.”
They said they waited a month to speak to school officials.
“It could affect somebody’s life with these accusations. We wanted to make sure we were confident in the decision to move forward and come up with the right decision,” they told LEX 18.
