A former Evansville police officer and Vanderburgh County Sheriff is accused of child molestation.
A shocking story out of fort Myers, Florida where Clarence Shepard now lives in retirement.
The details of this incident came out Thursday night in an affidavit filed by the Lee County Sheriff's Office in Fort Myers, Florida.
The report outlines a possible sex crime involving a former Vanderburgh County Sheriff and a girl under the age of twelve.
According to that report, the victim told her mother that Clarence Shepard, 76, touched her inappropriately, made her kiss him and also made her touch his leg.
The girl told deputies the incident happened inside Shepard's house while he was showing her his wife's doll collection. The report also shows that the victim's family is friendly with the Shepards.
Following an interview with Clarence Shepard, sheriff's deputies charged him with one count of lewd and lascivious molestation and booked him into the Lee County Jail in Florida.
Shepherd served the Evansville police department for 20 years before being elected Vanderburgh County Sheriff in 1983.
He was back in Evansville just about a week ago visiting former co-workers and touring the new Vanderburgh County Jail.
