About the only piece of evidence the prosecution didn’t have in the murder case against 20-year-old Patrick Fluker was an eyewitness testifying that he was seen shooting 29-year-old Tiffany Mendez in the head.A 23-year-old Fort Wayne man admitted this week in Allen Superior Court to raping a girl during a party in February.
Shelton B. Stephens, of the 2000 block of Bayview Drive, pleaded guilty Thursday to charges of rape and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
He was accused of assaulting a teenage girl in a hotel room. The girl, a friend and Stephens had been partying at Stephens’ home and then went to a motel on Coliseum Boulevard where Stephens sexually assaulted her.
Because no plea agreement with prosecutors was filed, Stephens faces a prison sentence of six to 20 years when he is sentenced in October.
