Sex-Assault Suspect Faces More Charges:
“Alleged” child rapist Scott Shefelbine from Connecticut has been arrested again. You can read about all his exploits here.
TOLLAND — Scott D. Shefelbine was arrested Wednesday night for allegedly preying on another teenage girl for sex.
This time, the 31-year-old Tolland man was charged with restraining and attempting to rape a 15-year-old girl in the parking lot of Tolland High School. State police from Troop C served Shefelbine with a warrant Wednesday night charging him with criminal attempt at first-degree sexual assault, second-degree unlawful restraint, third-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor. Police did not say when the incident took place.
Shefelbine, of 167 Mountain Spring Road, was already facing multiple charges of sexually assaulting young teenage girls, some of whom he met on Myspace.com, a social networking website that is popular with teenagers. Prior to his arrest Wednesday, he was free on $1 million bail posted by his parents, who run a computer business from their home.
He is now accused of assaulting at least seven girls. One of those, from West Hartford, told police that she had sexual contact with Shefelbine on numerous occasions, including at least once when she lived in Tolland before she turned 16.
In court documents, the accused is described as portraying himself as age 17 or 19 to teenage girls and their parents. Police searching his home have recovered hair pieces that investigators say he used to hide his receding hairline and bald spot.
According to this article, Shefelbine posted bond and was released. So now this scumbag is back out on the streets.
What I find strange is that Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal has repeatedly called for MySpace to make their site safer for children yet the state can’t keep repeat offenders like Shefelbine and David Leonard off the streets.
