Roy Reed Shelton was sentenced to one to five years in prison for sexually assaulting a 57 year old female resident of the Dora Allietta Memorial Home in Moundsville, West Virginia last year. He pled guilty to third-degree sexual assault, second-degree sexual abuse, and indecent exposure. Sheldon said the sexual relationship was consensual, but authorities contend that the woman has the mental capacity of a two year old.

Shelton lived at the facility with his wife, who worked there, but the facility has since been shut down after authorities determined that the residents were not properly cared for.
