Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kentucky

My Husband went into my daughters room while she was sleeping and started to rub on her upper thigh, my daughter is 12yr old is there any charges that can be brought against him for this act? This is her step father and not the first time he has been in her room while she was sleeping.

I'd be less concerned with criminal charges and more concerned about getting him out of your home and away from your daughter. You also need to contact the Cabinet for Health and Family Services immediately and report these incidences; otherwise, you could find yourself on the receiving end of a petition for emergency removal of your children when this matter comes out (and possible criminal charges for yourself if anything worse occurs). Kentucky law imposes a duty to report acts of child abuse, and this guy is well on his way to becoming a sex offender.
