LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Magoffin County man is heading back to prison, after he pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender.

Phillip Harmon, 42, of Salyersville, pleaded guilty to the charge back in January.

Court records in Scioto County, Ohio, indicate he pleaded guilty to rape in 2008 and served a 10-year sentence. In his plea agreement, he admits to moving from Ohio to Magoffin County in 2021, but never updating his sex offender registration.

At his sentencing hearing on Thursday, he was ordered to serve an additional 18 months in prison. Once he is released, he will remain under supervision for 10 years.
