As we previously reported, the Somerset County Sheriff's Office arrested then 58-year-old Keith Pruitt on April 2, 2025.
In Aug. 2024, the sheriff's office launched its investigation into a report of a sexual assault on a child involving Pruitt. Deputies say the victim alleged numerous acts of child abuse, sex offenses, and about 40 years ago. The sheriff's office says it then identified two other victims who alleged similar crimes.
