A repeat sex offender, fraudulently claiming to be a pastor who operated a non-profit ministry for prison inmates, will be in Anderson County Court June 25th for a preliminary hearing on charges of sodomy and sexual exploitation of a child. Forty nine-year-old Kevin Labelle of Kincaid, was arrested in late April and charged earlier this month with engaging in sex with an under age boy, as well as photographing acts with the youth to possess or distribute. Anderson County Attorney, Elizabeth Oliver, says additional charges of contributing to a child’s misconduct and unlawful distribution of marijuana were also filed.
Labelle had a number of felonies and an extensive number of collection actions in various counties according to state court records. He was convicted as a juvenile in 1988 for indecent liberties with a child and had a subsequent conviction as an adult in 2017 which landed him on the Kansas Sex Offender Registry. He is presently in the Anderson County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond.
