Clint A. Nevitt - Repeat Sex Offender Paid a mother to have sex with child

He allegedly paid the 11-year-old's mother to have sex with the girl, said Middletown police Detective Fred Shuemake, who called Nevitt "one of the worst" pedophiles he's seen in his 10 years as a juvenile detective.


A registered sex offender already accused of gross sexual imposition with a 9-year-old Middletown girl is now facing charges he raped an 11-year-old, according to the Butler County Prosecutor's Office.

Clint A. Nevitt, 32, of Middletown, was indicted by a Butler County grand jury on three counts of rape and two counts of gross sexual imposition.

He allegedly paid the 11-year-old's mother to have sex with the girl, said Middletown police Detective Fred Shuemake, who called Nevitt "one of the worst" pedophiles he's seen in his 10 years as a juvenile detective.

The allegations came to light after the 11-year-old, who is now living with her father outside of Middletown, told a therapist about the encounters. The girl said her mother, who has not been charged with any crimes, used the money to buy drugs, Shuemake said.

In 2001, Nevitt was accused of raping a third girl, who was 12 at the time and is related to his 9-year-old accuser.

He served two years in prison and was listed in the state's sex offender registry after he pleaded guilty to gross sexual imposition and attempted rape.

The 9-year-old girl testified in a June preliminary hearing that Nevitt paid her to touch him.

Her grandmother testified Nevitt contacted her before the allegations involving her granddaughter and asked for her help in finding him "young stuff."

He allegedly had more success when he repeated the same request to the mother of the
11-year-old, Shuemake said.

Nevitt is being held in the Butler County Jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
