HENDERSON, Ky. - A Henderson woman accused of sexually abusing a child is one of several accused of such crimes to be indicted by a November grand jury.

Erica Pullum, 38, was indicted on a charge of first-degree sexual abuse (victim under 12).

According to an arrest warrant filed by the Kentucky State Police, the victim is a child under the age of 10 to whom Pullum had access.

The victim reported to a trusted adult that he/she was sleeping and woke up to Pullum performing oral sex on him/her, court documents said.

During a forensic interview at the Children's Advocacy Center, the child became more detailed in the description of events. The child said Pullum picked him/her up and threw him/her on Pullum's bed and then "did the thing (the child) doesn't like to talk about," the warrant said.
