WINFIELD, W.Va. -- A Scott Depot man has been charged with sexual abuse after he was caught on tape with his hand down the shorts of 15-year-old girl.

Kenneth Paul Cantrell, 44, was charged Thursday with two counts of sexual abuse in the first degree and two counts of sexual abuse by a parent or guardian in Putnam County Magistrate Court.

Cantrell has been living with the girl's family for 11 years. He is not the father or stepfather of the girl.

In the video, Cantrell approached the girl three times and put his hand down her shorts while she sat in front of a computer, according to the criminal complaint filed in Putnam County Magistrate Court.

The girl told police Cantrell began touching her inappropriately in November 2008. She did not tell her family "out of fear for her own safety and the safety for her sister and mother, who is very ill and almost bound to her bedroom," the complaint states.

The girl confided in her mother last week, the complaint states.

Cantrell is being held at the Western Regional Jail. His bail has been set at $100,000.
