LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A former counselor at a Kentucky camp has been arrested and charged with sexual abuse.

According to a news release, 18-year-old Mason Rodgers was arrested by Kentucky State Police. 

Police said that on Wednesday afternoon, troopers were sent to Camp Webb in Carter County, Kentucky, after someone there reported a case of sexual abuse. 

The camp is located eight miles south of Grayson, Kentucky, on Grayson Lake.
