An Elizabethtown man has been arrested for sodomizing an eight-year-old child.

Kentucky State Police said 24-year-old Ernest Wilson II was arrested Friday night for allegedly fondling and sodomizing the child in late June, according to the News-Enterprise. Wilson told police he “accidentally” penetrated the child after he mistook the eight-year-old for his girlfriend.

He’s being held in the Hardin County Detention Center on a $50,000 cash bond.
