A registered sex offender accused of sodomizing a teenage girl and threatening to kill her and her mother faces 15 years in prison after pleading no contest Monday to attempted sexual battery, according to an arrest affidavit released Wednesday.
Lloyd L. Stephens Jr., 40, of the 2100 block of Southeast Shelter Drive, also had been charged with sexual battery with great force, but the charge will be dropped as part of a plea agreement.
Stephens was arrested in February after he allegedly went into the girl’s bedroom and performed sex acts on her. Stephens, who is 6 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs 230 pounds, reportedly returned later and threatened to kill the girl and her mother if she told authorities, according to an arrest affidavit.
The report stated Stephens apologized to the girl before she went to a neighbor’s house and called police. The arrest affidavit indicates Stephens is registered with the state as a sex offender.
