A Glasgow man has been charged with the alleged sexual abuse of a 4-year-old female, according to Glasgow Police.
Timothy B. Coffey, 24, of 1638 Oil City Road, was charged Wednesday with first-degree sexual abuse.
Authorities said an unidentified person contacted Social Services after the child told an adult about the alleged abuse. Representatives of the agency then contacted police.
Coffey was questioned about the allegations at the police station. Initially, he denied touching the child inappropriately, but later admitted to touching her genitalia while playing with her, police said.
Coffey was placed under arrest and lodged in the Barren County Correctional Center.
Juveniles arrested in separate cases

The minors were charged in connection with a burglary Nov. 26 at the Wigwam General Store east of Horse Cave and vandalism at Hart County High School on Dec. 19.
The juveniles are being held at a juvenile detention center pending a court date.
