Trial Set for Man Accused of Soliciting Nude Pics

A man accused of sex offenses involving minors will go to trial in December.

McCracken County Circuit Court records show Judge Tony Kitchen set a trial date on Monday for Zachary Rudolph. Rudolph is charged with two counts of prohibited use of an electronic communications system to procure a minor regarding sex offenses and one count of distribution of obscene material.

Rudolph formerly served as a teacher's assistant at Lone Oak Middle School. The charges stem from accusations that he traded e-cigarettes for nude photos of underage victims. He is also accused of sending nude photos of himself to minors.

Rudolph's trial is set to begin on Dec. 9.
