A Liberty Twp. man was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of rape for allegedly assaulting a child younger than 13, the Butler County Sheriff’s Office said.

Kyle R. Plummer, 32, of Hamilton-Mason Road, was taken into custody after the sheriff’s office received a tip from the Tennessee Department of Children Services that a child may have been sexually assaulted by Plummer.

Detectives found Plummer, and he reportedly admitted to sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl on two different occasions over the past several years, according to the sheriff’s office and court documents. Rape is a first-degree felony, and as the investigation continues, more charges are expected, officials said.

According to court documents, Plummer told the child not to tell anyone and “bribed her with a nicotine vape pen” to keep quiet.

If the public has any information about other potential victims, call detective Mike Steele at 513-759-7347.

Plummer has no bond but is scheduled to be arraigned today in Area II Court in Hamilton.
