A breakthrough has been made in a decades-old sexual abuse case. The West Virginia State Police issued the following statement:

“During this investigation TFC. R.C. Watson learned that Mr. Radcliff was a Preacher and Youth Minister at various churches in Lewis County and surrounding counties. Interviews were conducted and statements were obtained from victims. This information was used to establish probable cause and obtain arrest warrants for Mr. Radcliff.”
“In this investigation, TFC. R.C. Watson also learned that Mr. Radcliff’s wife, identified as Kathy Radcliff also had knowledge of the abuse taking place and also committed crimes against children. TFC. R.C. Watson was able to establish probable cause to charge Mrs. Radcliff as well.”
