State Journal Staff Report
November 20, 2008

A Frankfort man was indicted Wednesday on sex charges after allegedly abusing a young girl he was babysitting.

Shawn Reffett, 29, 5134 Georgetown Road, is charged with first-degree sexual abuse of a girl under 12, his indictment said.

Reffett, who prosecutors say has no known prior offenses in Kentucky, was babysitting the girl Oct. 3 when he "subjected a female child to sexual contact."

Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Dana Todd told The State Journal Wednesday children in the home immediately reported the alleged offense to their mother, who called police.

Reffett did not physically harm the girl, Todd said. No other indictments were returned by the Franklin County grand jury.

Or if you knew Shawn, you would be upset at how your friend had been accused of something he is just not capable of doing. But you all go ahead and pass judgement, while my friend sits at home trying to figure out how to defend against this girl's idea of a joke.

"Irresponsible...in this case, it's not the State Journal....it's the grown 29 year old man who molested/had inappropriate contact with a child."
I agree with that, what kind of twisted mind must one have to be attreacted to a child? No testicles for a "convicted" sex offender is a great start.

Irresponsible...in this case, it's not the State Journal....it's the grown 29 year old man who molested/had inappropriate contact with a child. He deserves whatever he gets.....vigilante or justice style...

I think that everyone who has children will be grateful that the address was printed.

if he's guilty then he deserves anything done to him

It's rather irresponsible of the SJ to print the address of an accused child molester isn't it? Most will assume guilt and it could be rather dangerous for Mr. Reffett. After conviction, by all means, print it for all to see.

Let's see if they plead this one down as usual.

Reffett did not physically harm the girl, Todd said
No, emotional harm is much worse.
