JOE SEPULVEDA

Moved from Hwy 145 South to South Main St., Harrisburg

SALINE CO.— A Harrisburg child molester already serving a sentence from that conviction has been arrested again.

The formal charge alleges that on November 4, 2016, Joe Michael Sepulveda, 26, of 1343 Highway 145 South Apt. C, Harrisburg, committed the offense Violation of Sex Offender Registration when he knowingly failed to register with the county sheriff’s department after being absent from his current address for three or more days, as required by the act.

Sepulveda was convicted April 25, 2012 of Criminal Sexual Abuse when he placed his penis in the vagina of the 15-year-old victim at a time when he was at least five years older than the victim.

In that case he was sentenced to probation for 30 months and ordered to pay $4,011 in fines and fees.

Sepulveda was released from police custody February 2 after a $1,000 cash bond was posted on his behalf by Meghyn McDonald, of 222 South Main St., Apt. 3, Harrisburg.

On his bond sheet, Sepulveda did not list his previous Hwy 145 address, but the address of Miss McDonald of 222 South Main St., Apt. 3, Harrisburg.
