On June 28, 2021, an individual contacted the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department Detective Bureau to report that she believed her niece and a female friend of her niece had been sexually abused by Treadway several years prior and when both were children. In conducting its investigation, a detective with the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department interviewed the two victims, who were both adults at the time of the interview. Both women disclosed that Treadway had sexually molested them on multiple occasions when they were children between 6 and 11 years of age. As the investigation continued, two more female child victims of Treadway were identified. The youngest victim was interviewed at the Just for Kids Child Advocacy Center. During the interview, the juvenile reported that when she was between 8 and 10 years of age, that Treadway had touched her genital area. The final victim likewise reported that Treadway had sexually molested her on multiple occasions when she was a child between 7 and 11 years of age. The investigation determined that Treadway accessed all of his victims through relationships he established with the victim’s families.
These crimes were investigated by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department Detective Bureau. Support services for the victims and victims’ families were provided by the Just for Kids Child Advocacy Center and AWAY. The case was prosecuted by Prosecuting Attorney Anthony Ciliberti, Jr.
