Man charged with sex crimes

A Russellville man was arrested Monday on sexually-related charges stemming from incidents that took place over a several-year period, officers said.

Barry R.C. Lane, 21, 158 Franks Circle, Russellville, was charged with two counts of first-degree sodomy, second-degree possession of marijuana and another sexually-related charge.

According to Franklin County Sheriff Shannon Oliver, the sheriff’s office received a report that Lane had sexually assaulted a female child under the age of 12.

He is being held at the Franklin County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
