On February 7, 2025, detectives from the Florence Police Department uncovered a troubling case of sexual abuse involving a minor under the age of twelve. In their investigation, officers engaged with both the alleged perpetrator, Kenneth Lewis, a 35-year-old resident of Florence, Alabama, and the juvenile victim to gather evidence and establish probable cause for an arrest warrant.
The following day, law enforcement successfully located Kenneth Lewis and took him into custody. He now faces two charges of sexual abuse related to a child under twelve years old. After his arrest, Lewis was transported to the Lauderdale County Detention Center, where he was later released after posting bail set at $30,000. It is important to note that Kenneth Lewis is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
