Child sex solicitation convictions against a former Liberty University professor were reversed May 4 in an appeal, sending the case back to Bedford County Circuit Court for a new trial.
Stephen James Kilpatrick, 66, was sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2019 after a jury found him guilty of five counts of soliciting sex from a minor â someone proclaiming to be a 13-year-old girl named Jenny, according to evidence, but was in fact an undercover cop.
He responded to a Craigslist ad in November 2017 from âJennyâ with a sexual request, according to evidence and testimony in the case, and continued sexual conversations for seven months despite her mentioning she was 13 years old about one month into their correspondence.
