Flick
By Allison Scarbrough, News Editor
LUDINGTON — A 21-year-old Fort Campbell, Tennessee man received a delayed sentence in Mason County’s 51st Circuit Court last week after attempting to enroll as a Mason County Central High School student last February after meeting an MCC student online.
Kevin Gerald Flick pleaded guilty, May 7, to all four counts in connection to the case: child sexually abusive activity, child sexually abusive material possession and two counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
“Mr. Flick was placed on a delay of sentence for the next 11 months,” said Mason County Prosecuting Attorney Beth Hand. “There are numerous terms of the delay imposed by the court, including no contact with the victim. The defendant’s ultimate sentence will depend upon his behavior while under the court’s supervision for the next 11 months.”
Flick will be supervised by a probation agent in his home state, said Hand.
Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole said the female victim in the case was 17 years old.
“A Mason County Central School employee became suspicious of a male who was attempting to enroll at the MCC school,” said Sheriff Cole. Through the investigation, it was discovered that Flick had attempted to enroll at MCC as a 17 year old. Deputies were provided various names and dates of birth before learning Flick’s true name and age. He had met an MCC student online in an effort to engage in a relationship with her. Flick flew from Tennessee to Grand Rapids and then found transportation to Mason County where he met the victim.
A delayed sentence hearing is set for May 13, 2025.
