SHAWNEE COUNTY —Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay filed criminal charges Monday against 66-year-old Charles Eugene Ferrier in relation to the sexual abuse of two minor girls.

The initial investigation began in 2015 and revealed evidence of sexual abuse of one victim when she was 8-9 years of age, between 2008 and 2009.

During a separate investigation that began in 2020, law enforcement learned of new allegations of sexual abuse with a different girl when she was 8-9 years of age, between 2019 and 2020.

Both investigations were concluded a few weeks ago and sent to the DA for review.

Kagay announced on Monday that his office has filed four charges against Ferrier: Aggravated Indecent Liberties with a Child under 14 (Off-Grid Felony); Lew & Lascivious Behavior with a Child under 16 (Level 9 Felony); Rape of Child under 14 (Level 1 Felony); and Aggravated Indecent Liberties with a Child under 14 (Level 3 Felony).

Police arrested Ferrier over the weekend and he is being held on a $1,000,000 bond.
