KSP: Taylor Co. man charged with child sexual exploitation

By Lt. Mike Bowling

Campbellsville, KY -- On February 13, 2020, at approximately 4:32pmET, the Kentucky State Police Electronic Crime Branch arrested a 27-year-old Campbellsville man on charges related to unlawful distribution and possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor.

He was arrested as the result of an undercover Internet Crimes Against Children investigation. The KSP Electronic Crime Branch began the investigation after discovering the suspect sharing images of child sexual exploitation online.

The investigation resulted in a search warrant at a residence in Campbellsville on February 13, 2020.


Equipment used to facilitate the crime was seized and taken to KSP's forensic laboratory for examination. The investigation is ongoing.

Benjamin A. Sallee, 27, is currently charged with ten counts of distribution of matter portraying a minor in a sexual performance and five counts of possession of matter portraying a minor in a sexual performance. These charges are Class-D felonies punishable by one to five years in prison. Sallee was lodged in the Taylor County Detention Center.

Note: An arrest is not a finding of guilt. An individual placed under arrest is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceeding.
