Pulaski County Investigation Expands, Additional Charges Filed Against Kimberly Bray in Ongoing Child Abuse Case.
Sheriff Bobby Jones has announced additional charges in an ongoing sexual abuse investigation involving a Pulaski County woman, following the identification of another minor victim. Authorities say the case continues to develop as investigators gather more information related to multiple allegations.
Kimberly Bray, 45, of Bronston, Kentucky, was formally served with a new warrant on Wednesday, March 11, in connection with a second incident involving the sexual assault of a child. Bray is already being held at the Pulaski County Detention Center as part of a separate but related investigation. She was initially being held on a $500,000 bond, and the newly filed charge of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree involving a victim under the age of twelve carries an additional $100,000 bond.
According to the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, the investigation began in January when Detective Jay Picard, who works with the Crimes Against Children unit, received information alleging that Bray had sexually assaulted two minor female victims in 2017. After months of investigation and the collection of evidence, Detective Picard secured an arrest warrant on December 31, 2025.
Bray was taken into custody the following day, on New Year’s Day 2026, on charges including Rape in the First Degree involving a victim under twelve and Sexual Abuse in the First Degree involving a victim under twelve.
During the continued investigation, authorities identified an additional minor male victim, leading to the new charge filed this week.
Detective Picard was assisted in the investigation by Deputy Noah Wesley, Deputy Zachary Huff, other members of the Criminal Investigation Division, and the Department for Community Based Services. Officials say all evidence gathered in the cases will be presented to the Pulaski County Grand Jury for further review.
