HINDMAN, Ky. — A Knott County sex offender has been charged with not maintaining his registration requirements.

Stevie Shepherd, 62, of Hindman, was charged with failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements back in November, when the state was unable to verify his address. He wasn’t arrested until Monday, when he was pulled over for traffic violations on the Mountain Parkway in Wolfe County.

Shepherd pleaded guilty to second-degree sexual abuse and third-degree sodomy of a 10-year-old in 2000. He was sentenced to three years in that case.

He now faces a sentence of 1-to-5 years in prison if convicted of failing to register.

He is currently being held in the Letcher County Jail.
