What Did The Sheriff Know About Alleged Judge Sex-Ring, And When Did He Know It?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

What happens when a web of corruption and coercion spirals into a shocking act of violence? In Letcher County, Kentucky, a scandal involving former deputy sheriff Ben Fields—convicted of rape and sodomy in 2022—has exploded into even darker territory. Fields was found guilty of using his position to coerce female inmates into sexual acts, but the story didn’t stop there. Now, a federal lawsuit and new testimony suggest deeper layers of misconduct, implicating those in power.
At the center of this chilling saga is the violent death of District Judge Kevin Mullins, shot eight times by Sheriff Shawn "Mickey" Stines in his chambers. Whistleblowers and emerging evidence hint at a seedy underbelly, including allegations of judges engaging in illicit acts within their own chambers. Sheriff Stines’ connection to the judge and a federal lawsuit raise unsettling questions: How much did he know? And could this be an act of protection—or something even darker?
The layers of deceit and betrayal in this case leave us wondering: What more remains buried?
