Eight family members arrested on child abuse, incest and trafficking charges after Kentucky home raid

Richmond police entered a sprawling residence on a warrant and discovered a scene described as “very filthy and deplorable,” with feces smeared on floors and a strong urine odor. Seven children, from a newborn to a 17-year-old, were rescued and handed over to Social Services. The home held fifteen occupants, including ten dogs and a cat.

Eight family members were arrested, ages 21 to 63, and charged with a range of offenses such as child abuse, incest, first-degree rape, sodomy and human trafficking. Green Schindler, the 63-year-old, was charged with human trafficking, rape and sodomy, while twin brothers Mark and Matthew Brumbaugh and Sarah Carter also face incest charges. Richard Carter faces trafficking and rape charges, and the remaining adults were charged with various child-neglect offenses. Authorities did not detail the exact familial links to the victims and warned that further charges may be added as the investigation continues.
