KENTUCKY–Woman charged with murder after baby found at men’s prison in Oldham
A 20-year-old Corbin woman has been charged with murder after giving birth to a child in a restroom at a state prison in La Grange on Sunday and hiding it in a trash bin, police said.
Kentucky State Police said they have arrested Ashley N. Cox and charged her with first-degree murder and concealing the birth of an infant. Cox will be held at the Oldham County Jail.
The infant was alive and healthy when it was born at the Roederer Correctional Complex, according to preliminary autopsy results, police said. The cause of death is still not determined.
Cox was visiting an inmate at the medium-security men’s prison Sunday morning when she went to the bathroom near the visiting room, said Lisa Lamb, spokeswoman for the Kentucky Department of Corrections.
