Keystone Heights man returns to prison for not paying probation fees 

GREEN COVE SPRINGS – A man who was released from prison three-and-a-half years early after being convicted of attempting to molest a child who was younger than 12 was arrested on Nov. 13 in Middleburg for failing to pay his probation fees. 

Ty Shane Evans Rose, 35, of Keystone Heights, will return to prison to finish his 16-year sentence after reaching a deal with the Clay County Court on Oct. 24. He also will be listed as a sexual offender for the rest of his life. 

Rose was initially arrested on May 17, 2011, after a girl told a Clay County Sheriff’s Office deputy that Rose pulled her pants down while she tried to sleep, and he tried to assault her, but he stopped when his fiancée got home. According to the affidavit for an arrest report, he told the deputy he knew what he was doing was wrong. 

Orange Park child predator sentenced to 35 years in prison 

JACKSONVILLE – U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard sentenced Evin Scott Young, 39, of Orange Park, to 35 years in federal prison for the production of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and the enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity. Young pleaded guilty on May 14. 

According to court documents, Young pursued four children solely for sex. Using various social media applications, he drew each of the victims – ranging from 15 to 17 years old – out of their homes after their parents went to sleep, instructed them to meet him at the front of their neighborhoods, and brought each back to his apartment. Young recorded himself having sex with two of the victims and invited another man to have sex with one of the victims. 

For 10 months, Young continued his sexual abuse of another victim, sent him CSAM he made of the victim, and told the victim never to get caught with it. During six months, Young repeatedly groomed and courted the final victim for sex. Law enforcement caught Young after following the thread of a CyberTip identifying explicit communications between him and one of the victims. From there, further investigation revealed evidence of his crimes. 

The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. Asst. U.S. Attorney Kelly S. Milliron prosecuted it. 

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
