LEWES, Del. — A Milton man faces several felony charges after a month-long investigation into alleged sexual abuse of a juvenile in Lewes. Lewes Police began the investigation in May after receiving information from the Division of Family Services about possible abuse involving a female child. Authorities identified 50-year-old Kevin T. Boyer, who previously lived in Lewes, as the suspect.
Officials say the offenses occurred between 2016 and 2021 when Boyer and the juvenile victim, who was between 7 and 12 years old, lived in the same residence. Boyer was arrested on June 6 and charged with multiple felonies, including first-degree sexual abuse of a child by a person in a position of trust, a Class A felony. Additional charges include continuous sexual abuse of a child, unlawful sexual conduct against a child by a sex offender, second-degree sexual abuse by a person in a position of trust, attempted second-degree sexual abuse, and endangering the welfare of a child.
Following his arraignment, Boyer was held at the Delaware Department of Correction after failing to post $242,000 bail.
