Indictments

A 24-year-old Scottsville man was indicted Wednesday by a Warren County grand jury for first-degree rape that was alleged to have occurred at a Bowling Green motel.

Randy Jay Pedigo is accused of forcefully raping an 11-year-old Scottsville girl on Jan. 1. Pedigo, if convicted, could face life in prison, said Chris Cohron, commonwealth’s attorney for Warren County.

Pedigo also is charged with being a second-degree persistent felony offender, stemming from a 2004 conviction in U.S. District Court for conspiracy to steal firearms from a licensed firearms dealer and aiding and abetting stealing firearms from a licensed firearms dealer. He received a sentence of 12 months and a day.

A Bowling Green Police Department report said the girl and a friend were dropped off at the Best Western Hotel at 166 Cumberland Trace.

The report said the two girls were contacted there by a man later identified as Pedigo and another man. The girls were driven to Speedway at 3208 Scottsville Road, where the men purchased alcoholic beverages, according to the report. Pedigo and the other man then drove the girls to another motel that was not named in the police report.

According to Cohron, the girls were taken by the father of the 11-year-old’s friend to the motel for a New Year’s swimming party.

That man was supervising the children but was misled by the girls, who said the man, now identified as Pedigo, was a relative, Cohron said.

The father of the friend will not be charged, he said.

&#8220He had no idea what was happening,” Cohron said.

Pedigo, who has been in jail since Jan. 13, had a bond set at $25,000 cash and he is to have no contact with children or the family of the victim. No further information was available about the man who was with Pedigo.
