Shreveport man found guilty sex crimes against child

According to the Caddo Parish District Attorney, it took the eight-woman, four-man jury one hour to determine that Timmy Lee Kepney, 64, molested a girl under age 13 on January 17, 2022.

‘The girl reported the incident to her mother, who called authorities. The victim was taken to the Gingerbread House where she described the sexual acts, was examined by a sexual assault nurse and had swabs taken for DNA testing,’ detailed the Caddo Parish DA.

The District Attorney stated that during a police interview, Kepney acknowledged improperly touching the child, but he denied making that admission at trial. However, the jury did not accept his denial.

Kepney will return to District Judge Donald E. Hathaway Jr.’s court for sentencing on June 6, 2025. The penalty for sexual battery of a juvenile under the age of thirteen is 25 to 99 years in prison without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence.
