On October 22, 2026, the Nicholasville Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division arrested Chad Gossett following a multi-state investigation involving crimes against children.

Gossett was charged with five counts of Unlawful Use of Electronic Means to Induce a Minor to Engage in Sexual or Other Prohibited Activities (KRS 510.155).

We would like to extend a special thank you to the Marcus Police Department in Marcus, Iowa, and the Grayson County Sheriff's Office in Sherman, Texas.

Both agencies conducted thorough investigations that were instrumental in identifying Gossett's activities and ultimately leading to his arrest in Wilmore.

Their investigative efforts, attention to detail, and willingness to work with our department played a key role in bringing these cases together.

We would also like to thank the Wilmore Police Department for their assistance in taking Gossett into custody.

This case highlights the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies across state lines and their shared commitment to protecting children.
