STANFORD, Ky. (FOX 56) — A Lincoln County man has been charged with rape after reportedly being caught in an outbuilding with a 15-year-old girl in early July.

An arrest citation said the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was called just before 8 p.m. on July 6 to a home on Kentucky Highway 618 near Crab Orchard.

Deputies said a woman came home and found her 15-year-old daughter had just come out of an outbuilding. Inside, the woman said she found 33-year-old Gerald Burchfield hiding behind a mattress with his pants down.

Despite being told by the woman not to leave as she called the police, Burchfield reportedly fled on his moped, according to the citation.

The sheriff’s office said they found him on U.S. Highway 150 and pulled him over.

The teen told deputies that she and Burchfield had previously had sex. She said Burchfield was trying to remove her clothes for sex when she stopped him because her mother was home.
