NORTH JACKSON, Ohio - A man from the Cincinnati area accused of raping a minor at a truck stop in North Jackson in 2019 has been indicted on Thursday.

Forty-year-old Shavkat Abushukurov was indicted on two counts of rape, two counts of gross sexual imposition, two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and one count of kidnapping.

OSP Troopers say Abushukurov allegedly raped a female minor in a commercial truck on the entrance to the entrance ramp to I-76 Westbound on Bailey Road in August of 2019.

It wasn't until 2022 that investigators were able to identify Abushukurov as a suspect via electronic data analysis and the female victim pointing him out on a lineup of potential suspects.
