It saddens me to see how you portray Patrick Carl Shepherd. He is not a man who preys on girls with psychiatric issues. He was very close to the victim and family, and they were well aware of their friendship. I'm not saying what he did was right, by any means. But they were a support system for each other, and his intentions from the beginning were not to take sexual advantage of her. Patrick is not a monster, or a sexual predator. He's a man with significant mental health issues that need to be addressed
THE GIRL WAS 14. I would think different is she was 17. Or even 16. But at the age of 14 . That is just sick. Good story! Keep up the good work!
I haven't inserted my opinion--or editorialized my opinion of Shepherd at all.
All of the information in this story was obtained from court documents.

It is wrong, but she knew what she was doing. It is disgusting. And if he's guilty,he'll get what he deserves. But she consented twice, and asked to be in that relationship. she needs help too
Is there an update on this story K? There isn't anything on case net, and he was scheduled for trial the 22nd
Shepherd waived his preliminary hearing and is scheduled to be arraigned in circuit court on November 4th.
