KENTUCKY
WAVE

RADCLIFF, KY (WAVE) – A Hardin County church is in shock after one of its ministers stands accused of hugging and kissing a teenage student at the school where he taught.
For nearly a decade the Central Hardin teacher was also a special deputy volunteer with the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office helping as an interpreter and with traffic during special events. Now all of Edwin Bonet-Ruiz’s titles have been revoked and a community is left stunned.
“When you think of Edwin, you don’t think of someone doing something like this,” said Terry Linscott, associate minister at Abundant Life Church in Radcliff.
For 18 years Bonet-Ruiz was in a leadership role at the Abundant Life Church. The high school teacher ministered in Spanish as part of the church’s Hispanic outreach program.
