A Grayson County man who plead guilty to child sexual abuse charges and then feld the country has been returned to custody.
Kentucky State Police Post Four says William Lee “Scott” Carter of Millwood was arrested in June of 2023 following an investigation by Post Four troopers and detectives. Carter confessed to the allegations during the investigation and plead guilty to one count of first degree Sexual Abuse, one count of second degree Rape, and four counts of third degree rape.
Carter was scheduled to be sentenced in September of 2025. The KSP says Carter, however, fled the United States prior to his sentencing hearing.
The KSP says former Trooper Ken Borders, who now serves with a federal law enforcement partner, and federal authorities, located Carter and took him into custody in Chicago, where he was temporarily lodged. Post Four on Wednesday transported Carter from Chicago back to Kentucky, where he was lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center to await sentencing.
