According to the indictment, between June 1, 2014 and Oct. 1, 2015, Mattingly allegedly engaged in deviant sexual contact with a minor under 12 years old by the use of forcible compulsion.
Mattingly’s bond was set at $100,000 cash only, plus conditions. He will be arraigned Jan. 7, 2016 in Nelson Circuit Court.
An indictment is an accusation only, and all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent under Kentucky law until proven guilty.
