Kentucky State Police are reporting they have made a major felony arrest in Greenup, Ky.

A Greenup County, Ky., man is accused of engaging in sex with a minor on Wednesday, after a family member of the victim notified authorities.

Jeremy Shane Fields, 30, of Greenup, was arrested by Kentucky State Police in Ashland, Ky., following what they describe as an “extensive investigation.”

According to the report from the Kentucky State Police, the victim's mother reported the incident to KSP Post 14 in Boyd County, Ky.
