A Clark County man charged with sexually abusing a child in 2019 is now facing a trial in March.

Terrell Leo Cain-Byington, 56, of Treehaven Drive, was arrested in February 2019 for first-degree sexual abuse, tampering with physical evidence and prohibited use of an electronic communication system to procure a minor for sex.

Clark Circuit Judge Jean Chenault Logue said she was looking at January trial dates, but recent COVID numbers and guidance from the Kentucky Supreme Court made March more likely.

Cain-Byington’s attorney, Alex Rowady, said he thought the trial would take two to three days.

Cain-Byington was arrested on a warrant for the charged after the child’s mother spoke to detectives at the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. According to the warrant, Cain-Byington asked for nude photos of the child and attempted to take part in sexual acts with the child. He also allegedly touched the child’s genitals.

When detectives searched Cain-Byington’s cell phone, they found deleted texts from conversations with the victim as well as nude photos of another juvenile on the phone.

Cain-Byington is free on bond.
