UPDATE @ 6 p.m. Wednesday

KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- West Virginia State Police troopers say a 59-year-old man was trying to seduce teenage girls in Belle, and the girls caught it all on tape.

Officers arrested David Kay, who was silent Wednesday as he walked into Kanawha County Magistrate Court. He did not respond to accusations that he preyed on his teenage neighbor and her two friends.

Kay faces four counts of intent to seduce a minor and indecent exposure charges, which carry a penalty of up to 10 years imprisonment.

According to the criminal complaint, while the teenagers were in a trailer in Belle they saw Kay standing in the doorway of his trailer, motioning for the girls to come over. Then, he later unfolded a blanket and motioned for them to come over again. After that, police said Kay pulled down his pants and exposed his self.

Troopers said one of the girls recorded Kay's every move.

"She used her head … and did a very smart thing," said Trooper J.M. Comer. "It really helped corroborate her story."

Troopers said this is not the first time Kay crossed the line. His neighbor claims Kay did it before when she was 12, but said she was too afraid to say anything. Years later, she came forward. Police said there could be other victims also trying to find their voice.

In addition to exposing himself, Kay allegedly made inappropriate gestures, according to troopers. At the time of the alleged incident, police said Kay, who has a wife and children, was home alone. His family was out of town.


ORIGINAL STORY
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A man from Belle is accused of exposing himself to several teenage girls.

The alleged incident happened on Saturday, August 16, along Simmons Creek Road.

According to the criminal complaint, the teenagers were playing in their bedroom when David Roy Kay came out of his house and made a bed with a blanket and motioned for them to come over to his house.

State Police say that's when Kay pulled down his pants and exposed himself. The teens also told investigators Kay made sexual gestures at them.

The teenagers taped Kay's actions and later called police.

Kay is now charged with indecent exposure and use of obscene matter with intent to seduce a minor. He was arraigned on the charges around 12:30pm Wednesday.

Bond was set at $75,000.

His next court appearance is set for September 3 at 1:30 p.m.

People like this get away with it the first time and keep adding kids to there list. How many other kids are they ? how many years does this go back? If there is other kids they need to come forward and put this person where he needs to be . We had a neighbor that was like this and he was classified as the crazy man that everyone avoided . Why must kids live that way ??? lock them all up!

All parents should look at anyone they see as a potential sexual predator. Never fall for that he’s a nice guy or girl and goes to church crap no one really knows anybody.

Posted by: anon on Aug 28, 2008 at 01:24 PM
ten year for showing his wee wee but the Dr. who was in charge of the child neglect charges got home confinement. Sad. These girls were very brave and smart. I think he deserves the time, he will get his in prison.

I am very proud of these girls. I wish i had been that brave when i was a child, we had a neighbor who would expose himself to me and my friend while we played in the backyard, we were both ten at the time. Parents need to open the lines of communication with their children and help them be brave as well.

OHMY I agree with your post. If he's doing this where others can see, what has he done to children behind closed doors? There's no rehabilitating a person like this. They just get worse and more daring each time until they end up killing a kid. Take no chances on this, lock him up for life. Take a look at SC. You can get the death penalty for sexually abusing a child under the age of 13 (should be even older)! Pedophilles are one of the WORST kind of criminal and they don't get better with treatment. What about the kids that have been victims? They live with the nightmare for the rest of their lives. We all need to teach our kids to be brave enough to tell when ANYONE makes them feel uncomfortable. I'm proud of the girls that made sure this monster was caught. Great job girls!

Got to admit, the guys pretty darned suave.

Posted by: jaf on Aug 28, 2008 at 09:14 AM
I am so proud of those girls - they are brave and hopefully are role models for others to stand up against your abuser. You go girls!!

Posted by: ohmy on Aug 28, 2008 at 01:06 AM
can you even think of the nightmares these poor girls will have for the rest of their life.. It makes you wonder if he done this to his own kids or his grandchildren when no one was looking.i hope the family really search inside them and find away to honestly think about the kids in the family and see if he has done anything to them.. and making fun of him done what for you people the man needs and needed help what if he done this to your family..

Posted by: Anonymous on Aug 28, 2008 at 12:42 AM
Treatment? YOu think he can be rehabilitated? 90% reoffend after coming out of prison. Would you let your child with him? I would never in this lifetime. He should be put on anisland with the rest of them!

The Yell: Comments for the Week of 11/30
  • Posted By: KrisAlways been a Major fan of WSAZ but not so much for your website until now. Everything is laid out much better and even seems to be faster!
  • Posted By: True BisonMark Hallburn from Putnamlive.com is a complete idiot!
  • Posted By: BillI am a native Mountaineer...what's up with "The Yell"? Couldn't there be a better name for your soundoff? Love the idea...
  • Posted By: SophieWhat is going on with all of these "home invasions!" This really scares me. I hope they catch these thugs. How tramatic!
  • Posted By: KevinI am just fine with the new look of your website, no problems navigating at all. The people who complain are the ones who fear change, to me this explains why Robert Byrd keeps getting voted into office.
  • Posted By: AriI feel SOOO bad for that poor bear that those people are keeping as a "pet" a bear is not a pet, these are the people I dont feel sorry for when they get mauled and there hand bitten off
  • Posted By: MeI like the postings from other outlets, (wowk etc.) This lets me see a varitey of headlines and stories without moving all around
  • Posted By: DebbieYour website looks great! It is very appealing to the eye when it comes up on the screen and user friendly. I not an expert by any means, yet I find your site non-threating for someone like me. I check your site twice daily and though I usually do not like change, I like this one! I'm thankful for WSAZ's coverage of Southern Ohio. You treat Ohio with the same level of importance as West Virginia. Thanks for a job well done, with heart.
  • Posted By: Alycia Marie AdamsI think that your new layout is really top notch! It looks much more professional and streamlined than it used to! Thank you for a job well done!
  • Posted By: Christian not offendedThank you g, I'm glad there is someone else who understands the HOLIDAY meaning to HAPPY HOLIDAYS. If that offends some of you, then maybe you should leave town. This is a FREE country, not a communist one. HAPPY >>>insert holiday here<<< There is that less offending to you?
  • Posted By: CathiThanks for the new website. I think it is truly great. Lots of information, great design. I get on this site many times each day and love the new look and info.
  • Posted By: drsenileIn the spirit of this joyous season, let us remember what it celebrates...the love and compassion for our fellow man. So, those of you who do NOT believe the way I do, get out of town! Sound like anyone you know? If you missed the sarcasm, may I suggest you also leave town.
  • Posted By: mooonieI like the new layout , it is easier to find what you're looking for . I can't understand what others are complaining about . Great job !!
  • Posted By: drsenileWell, I just attempted to submit a comment and it disappeared. And no, it wasn't my computer. My basic problem with this site...too much glitz, not enough substance; slow to load information; and, it appears none of the WSAZ staff ever read much of what's here and it might actually improve.
  • Posted By: drsenileIt is the season for honoring a man born 2000 years ago and to celebrate what he brought to all of us in the spirit of love and compassion for our fellow man. So, all of you who DO NOT BELIEVE as I do, get out of town! If you fall to see the sarcasm, by all means, find another planet.
  • Posted By: drsenileI realize I live in the ultra-exclusive suburb of Milton, but I am curious as to the reason gas prices (for one) are consistently higher than our less fortunate neighbors (like Huntington). As of tonight, there is still a 16 cents per gallon differential between Milton and Huntington (and we are NOT lower). I guess we are helping to pay for improvements to the mayors pet projects.
  • Posted By: PaulYour new web page is greate, Your local and national coverage is so much easier to surf. You will have critics out there, but any change that is new will not be accepted for a while, this is common for the region that we live in. Keep up the good work WSAZ. Please excuse some of my spelling)
  • Posted By: TaxpayerAt least one Senator has put a secret hold on the nomination of Neil Barofsky to be appointed Inspector General to oversee the $700 billion Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). It is not clear why the lawmaker is holding up the nomination. Mr. Barofsky appears to be eminently qualified for the Inspector General position, and whether you support the bailout or not, all taxpayers have an interest in making sure every dime is spent appropriately and not subjected to waste, fraud or abuse. Please call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to connect with your Senator's office and find out whether they are responsible for holding up this nomination of the watchdog for the massive bailout package.
  • Posted By: JenniferTo Volley Mom, yes that's true about life in general but we're talking about a web page, come on. It's not THAT important.
  • Posted By: L.A little feedback on the site redesign; I like the layout, but it's very crowded and cluttered. I browse the site frequently on my iPhone and I have great difficulty doing that with the new layout - I can't scroll using the touchscreen because all of the columns are crowded together and when I try to scroll I end up clicking on something.
  • Posted By: I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW PAGE. THE OLD PAGE WAS SO MUCH BETTER!!!
  • Posted By: MelindaTHE ONLY THING THAT NEEDS FIXED ON YOUR NEW WEB SITE IS THE VIEWING OF THE VIDEOS LIKE YOU HAVE GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD I HAVE A POP UP BLOCKER THAT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO VIEW IT AND BEFORE IT NEVER STOPPED ME.
  • Posted By: MelindaI LIKE THE NEW WEB PAGE KEEP THIS ONE! ITS EASIER TO READ AND GET TO THINGS.
  • Posted By: Volley MomThe only thing in life consistent is change. We all need change to keep life interesting. Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you deal with it. Learn to deal with things in life a little better. I happen to like the new site.
  • Posted By: Bling BlingLike the new site, but like asked before why are you running the competitions headlines? Also another recommendation - somewhat croweded but hey it is the news so I will live with it
  • Posted By: BuckeyeI like the new site. Just get sick of seeing the shaking "classmate.com" advertisement. But, they pay a bill I'm sure.
  • Posted By: annI HATE THE NEW SIT IT WONT FIT ON MY SCREEN RIGHT ITS MESSED UP CHANGE IT BACK PLEASE HURRRY
  • Posted By: annlove the new site
  • Posted By: JenniferI don't like the new page either, I know change is something you have to get used to but....just my opinion.
  • Posted By: IdiotsUAreThe United States of America was founded under God! The creator of this earth, the father of our Savior Jesus Christ. He is why we even have Christmas. So say Christmas an not holidays! If you want to say holidays then go to another county or even California it might as be its own.
  • Posted By: yuckI don't like change, please go back to the other website.
  • Posted By: BobWSAZ, Why are you linking to WOWK headlines on your website? Even linking to the Daily Mail, Gazette, and H-D isn't smart - because in the online world, they're even more of a competitor to you.
  • Posted By: BobSomeone could be shopping for Hanukkah gifts. Read a book other than just the Bible.
  • Posted By: BibleThumpersIt's actually a pagan festival for the Winter Solstice. The Christians adopted it as Christ's birthday later on and even adopted many of the pagan items, such as putting up a tree and having a great feast.
  • Posted By: git is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, to be offended by the word "Holiday", this all comes from you bible thumpers that all want to tell other people how to think and what to say. You offend me! This is the Holidays! Even 50 years ago before all this ridiculous crap started, cards said Happy Holidays, because it covered Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, it is the Holiday Season! So Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays Y'all!
  • Posted By: to Lady A:The "holiday" season also encompasses Hanukkah, a major holiday for those of us who follow the Jewish faith. We also give gifts and do "holiday" shopping this season; thankfully WSAZ is less ignorant than you are and recognizes that their viewership reflects more than one faith.
  • Posted By: to Lady AFYI, Hanukah is also coming up and we of the jewish faith also exchange gifts during this HOLIDAY season. I, for one, am thankful that WSAZ considers all of their viewers. Your comment was incredibly ignorant.
  • Posted By: What the heckI agree with Pat, I'm not liking the new page AT ALL.
  • Posted By: Christian not offendedOk there Lady A, just slow down a minute. Huntingtonian made a good point. Have you ever heard of Hanukah? Some people shop for Hanukah. Jesus was Jewish, so don't tell me that being a Jew is a sin, & Christmas is THE ONLY HOLIDAY this time of year. Yes, I too love to hear MERRY CHRISTMAS, but I refuse to become upset when someone says happy holidays. How do you know if when you say MERRY CHRISTMAS to someone, your not saying it to a Jewish person? Do you ever hear them make a big fat stink about it? NO!!!, you don't. So I think you should just be happy that God has given you another day on this Earth. So that you have the time to celebrate, with your family, whatever holiday you choose. I've decided to say HAPPY MERRY KWANZ~MA~KA that way I've covered them all.
  • Posted By: PatMuch like New Coke and the new Marco I think you've made a mistake with the new web pagedesign. I don't use Yahoo because the site is too cluttered and I feel the same about your new page. More is not necessarily better!
  • Posted By: AriIt is CHRISTMAS it is the time we celebrate Christ being born, not Kwanzza or Hanukah. Kwanzza is racist anyways it's a celebration of being black. I have no problem with people saying Happy whatever it is but I am NOT going to watch what i say and not say Marry Christmas becasue it might offend people
  • Posted By: LadyA`The question was, Did you do any Holiday shopping over the weekend? The shopping they were referring was Christmas shopping. What other holiday shopping would we be doing? Thanksgiving was over. It offended me like many others. It is the Christmas season and I want to see the word Christmas used, not holiday or xmas.
  • Posted By: HuntingtonianI agree with Anonymous!! It is the "holiday season" and by definition, it encompasses all of the holidays that are coming, not just Christmas. I also am a christian and see something inherintly wrong with pigeon holing this time of year to simply "Merry Christmas." What I find really offensive is those of you who believe that it is ok to say "Christmas" but would be outraged if "Happy Kwanza" or "Happy Hanukah" appeared anywhere. So, that being said: HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a JOYOUS NEW YEAR to all!!
  • Posted By: Holiday is in referance to ALL holidays this time of year. I have been saying Happy Holidays since I was a kid, growing up during the 80's. Christmas is not the only holiday this time of year. We did just celebrate Thanksgiving, remember. I am a Christian, that is not offended by the phrase HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
  • Posted By: annI agree with ladyA its CHRISTMAS
  • Posted By: LadyAWSAZ- Could you please change the word Holiday to Christmas on your question? The word Holiday offends me.
  • Posted By: madTo the doofus deer hunter who knocked my mailbox over on gritt rd if you cant drive any better than that you shouldnt have a GUN and thanks for letting us know you smashed the mailbox. MERRY CHRISTMAS DOOFUS
