The Whitley County Grand Jury indicted a Barbourville man Monday morning for allegedly abusing two children.
The grand jury indicted Andrew Carr, 24, charging him with two counts of for allegedly abusing two male children under the age of 12 years old by intentionally causing torture or cruel punishment, according to his indictment.
