(Boone County, Ky.) Boone County Sheriff’s Office detectives received a report earlier this month, which alleged that an adult male committed unlawful sexual acts against a juvenile victim. The subsequent investigation resulted in an arrest.
Detectives initially received a disclosure from a juvenile victim, which alleged that several years ago, Michael W. Fitzwater, 60, Nancy, Kentucky committed unlawful sexual acts on multiple occasions against the victim. Through investigation, detectives obtained admissions from Fitzwater. Additionally, the investigation revealed that Fitzwater committed the sexual acts against the victim by force.
