From the Office of
District Attorney CJ Robinson
In August 2023, Kenneth Stevenson, of Alabaster, was indicted by a Chilton County Grand Jury for Rape 1st, Sodomy 1st, two county of Incest, two counts of Sexual Abuse 1st, and two counts of enticing a child for Immoral Purposes.
The trial for Stevenson, 36, began on Monday and today a Chilton County jury returned a guilty verdict on all counts. The jury deliberated for just over one hour.
Stevenson is set to be sentenced by Circuit Judge Joy Booth on May 8th.
The victims in this case were twelve and eight at the time of the abuse, and prosecutors were able to prove Stevenson sexually abused both victims on different occasions. On at least one occasion, Stevenson sexually abused the victims at the same time and forced them to commit sexual acts on one another.
District Attorney CJ Robinson said, “It is never easy to take on a case of this type and have to spend hours reviewing evidence and witness testimony of such sickening criminal acts. The strength it took for the victims to stand up to this monster is unimaginable and they are heroes. The facts of this case should disgust us all and if the death penalty were available as a punishment for his crimes, he 100 percent deserves it.
“I am grateful to the Jemison Police Department, DHR, and the professionals at Butterfly Bridge Children’s Advocacy Center who all contributed to building a strong case against Stevenson. I am also proud of the prosecutors, victim service officers, and investigators of our team at the DA’s Office who worked to ensure justice was served.”
