Robert Shiflet was released from prison on January 11, 2023, after serving 25 months behind bars for repeatedly sexually assaulting two girls.
In June 2021, a federal judge sentenced Shiflet to 33 months in prison, as part of a plea agreement. At the time, the judge lamented the agreement was not for a longer prison term.
Shiflet, 52, is now living in Weatherford, Texas where he is required to register as a sex offender. He will also be under supervision for life. One of the crimes he was convicted of began in 1996 when Shiflet met a 14-year-old girl at Denton Bible. Later in 1997, he led an eighth grade camping trip to the Buffalo National River in Arkansas in 1997, where he was able to isolate her and sexually assault her. Prosecutors say he told her not to tell anyone.
In 2005, two victims bravely came forward and told a counselor at Denton Bible about their abuse by Shiflet while they were minors. But instead of Denton Bible reporting this to authorities, church leaders confronted Shiflet themselves, and he admitted to the crimes.
