LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Justin Aubrey, 25, drove to Jeffersontown Tuesday night because he reportedly planned to pay for sex with a 14-year-old he met online according to Jeffersontown Police (JPD).
It's supposedly not the first time. According to an arrest citation, Aubrey attempted to "engage in a commercial sex act for money," with a minor, on more than one occasion.
In February, the citation said Aubrey attempted to coerce a 12-year-old into commercial sex abuse. Documents show he attempted to coerce the child again in March.
Just after 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jeffersontown officers said they turned on their "emergency equipment" to stop Aubrey and he took off. In the process, records show Aubrey crashed into a police vehicle, causing damage worth $1,000.
Then, JPD said Aubrey got out of the car and ran into traffic on Taylorsville Road. He reportedly ran towards the tracks and was stopped by a moving train.
Police said he refused to comply, pushed against officers and actively resisted arrest.
Aubrey is now charged with Attempted Human Trafficking, Use of a Minor in a Sexual Performance, Evading Police by motor vehicle, Evading Police on foot, assault of a police officer, wanton endangerment and criminal mischief. All of those are felony charges.
Aubrey's preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday, March 16.
