Police have been looking for a Wayne County man accused of a disturbing crime against a child for almost a month. Now, the victim’s family speaks out about the man’s out-of-state arrest.
Officials say John Fawcett is accused of raping a child and then disappearing, until he was found and arrested in Florida.
“It is a big relief. We did tell the victim that he has been caught and she was happy,” a family member of the victim told LEX18 by phone.

The family of the victim asked LEX18 not to reveal their identity to protect the child’s privacy, but they say after learning of the recent arrest, the healing process has begun.
“Now she can rest. She was scared to death he was going to come back and get her so that’s a big relief on her,” said the family member.
Jaqueline Fawcett has already been indicted for allegedly helping John Fawcett abuse the child. That’s when the victim’s family took to social media to help find the other suspect.
“Praise the lord that he has been caught so he doesn’t hurt another child,” said the family member.
John Fawcett was picked up in Panama City on unrelated drug charges. Fawcett is currently at the Bay County Jail in Florida. No word yet on when he will be extradited to Kentucky.
