Man Sentenced to 40 Years in Prison for Sexual Abuse
A 46-year-old man was sentenced last week to 40 years in prison after admitting to sexually abusing a girl two years ago.
Stephen Shellhammer, who has been held at the Lubbock County Detention Center since his April 22, 2021 arrest, appeared in the 140th District Court where he pleaded guilty to a count of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
He admitted to sexually assaulting a girl, who was 6 at the time, with a sex toy, according to court records.
His charge stems from a Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office investigation into an outcry by the girl who said Shellhammer abused her in February 2021.
Shellhammer entered his plea ahead of a trial set for Aug. 21.
He will have to serve half of his sentence before he becomes parole eligible and will have to register as a sex offender for life.
