Two people have been indicted by the grand jury on charges of criminal abuse of a child.
Detectives say a juvenile had injuries that were not consistent with an accident. KSP says the charges were a result of a complaint from the Bourbon County Health and Family Services.
Taylor Myers, 24, and Jessica Morris, 24, are charged with Criminal Abuse 1st degree of a Child 12 years or younger. KSP says Morris is the child’s mother and Myers was living at the home at the time of the investigation. Family members say that Myers is Morris’ ex-boyfriend.

The child’s grandmother, Rita Leet, said that her granddaughter was severely injured back in February 2016. Leet said that the baby was eight-months-old at the time.
“Her collar bone was broken, her arm was broken, her legs were broke,” said Leet.
Leet said baby Kenley had eight broken bones. Kenley is the daughter of Jessica Morris and Rita Leet’s deceased son, Cody.
Morris was charged with criminal abuse in December.
Jessica Morris pleaded not guilty to the charge. Her attorney said that she has maintained her innocence from the beginning and has no knowledge of what happened.
The case remains under investigation.
