LOUISA, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Lawrence County man previously arrested in a child exploitation investigation has now been indicted on 63 felony counts.

Christopher Alan Price, 27, of Louisa, was indicted October 8 by a Lawrence County grand jury.

The indictment includes 25 counts of promoting a minor in a sexual performance, 20 counts of possessing child sexual abuse material, eight counts of distributing the material, nine counts of sexual crimes against animals and one count of first-degree sodomy.

Price was initially arrested in March following an investigation by the Kentucky State Police Electronic Crime Branch.

He was later released after a grand jury failed to return an indictment within the required 60-day period.

Price was arrested again October 15 following the indictment and booked into the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville.

He is being held on a $100,000 cash bond and is scheduled for arraignment November 12.

The charges are allegations, and Price is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
