Three people are facing abuse charges after an investigation into a western Kentucky boarding school.
Kentucky State Police said they opened an investigation at Pilgrim’s Rest School in Ohio County in October, after social services investigated allegations of abuse. An
Ohio County grand jury indicted Kelly R. Vanderkooi, 52; Johnathan V. Vanderkooi, 28, and Amanda Vanderkooi, 27, all of Dundee, Dec. 16, court records show.
Kelly Vanderkooi is facing 21 counts of first-degree criminal abuse of a child 12 or under and 10 counts of fourth-degree assault (child abuse), state police said in a news release. Johnathan Vanderkooi is facing eight counts of first-degree criminal abuse of a child 12 or under and three counts of fourth-degree assault (child abuse). Amanda Vanderkooi was indicted on one count of first-degree sexual abuse.
The three were arrested Thursday and taken to the Ohio County Detention Center in Hartford, state police said. They were being held on $50,000 cash bond.
Court records indicate that they are scheduled to be arraigned in Ohio Circuit Court Jan. 3.
Susan Dunlap, spokeswoman for the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, said in an email that the Department for Community Based Services helped move two children out of the private school and into licensed facilities. She said the school is not licensed by the state.
