BUNNELL, FL – On November 29, Alphonso Joseph received a 5-year prison sentence and 10 years of sex offender probation after pleading guilty to Lewd and Lascivious Battery.

Deputies found him in a vehicle’s backseat engaged in sexual activity with a juvenile male, whom he had met on a dating app.
Sheriff Rick Staly commended the Major Case Unit’s efforts in the case. He also thanked the resident who reported the noise, leading to the discovery and arrest of Joseph.
