HARDINSBURG — A 58-year-old man remained in jail and a woman was hospitalized in critical condition after what Kentucky State Police described as a brutal attack.
Trooper Steve Pavey says Ernest Pine of Breckinridge County attacked the woman, raped and sodomized her on Monday. Pavey said Pine slit the woman’s throat and left her for dead after the attack.
Pavey says the woman called a neighbor, who called police. Pavey said the victim told police that Pine was the attacker before she was airlifted to the hospital.
Pine was being held in the Breckinridge County jail on Thursday and is charged with rape, sodomy, burglary and attempted murder. Jail records had no attorney listed for Pine.
The victim is still in critical condition at University Hospital in Louisville.
