Third officer in police mentoring program charged with abuse

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A third Kentucky police officer who was involved with a now-defunct youth mentoring program has been charged with sexually abusing a juvenile. The federal indictment unsealed Tuesday accuses Brad Schuhmann of sexually abusing the girl in 2010 while acting as a Louisville Metro Police officer. Schuhmann was an advisor in the department’s Explorer Program for youths. Police say he resigned from the department last week. Court records show he’s scheduled to be arraigned Monday. Schuhmann’s attorney did not respond to news outlets’ requests for comment. Two other former officers are serving prison time on sexual abuse charges stemming from the program.
