Man On House Arrest Checks Teen Out of School for Sex

Noble, OK - A man in Noble on house arrest for a burglary charge checks a teen out of school for sex; He now faces additional criminal charges.

According to court records, Shawn Michael Heaton, 18, first got into trouble with the law last October when he was arrested after allegedly burglarizing a home in Lexington while the residence were home.

Heaton was charged with felony burglary in the first degree. Unable to post bond, Heaton was eventually released on house arrest after agreeing to wear an ankle bracelet with GPS capability to ensure he stayed put.

Heaton, undeterred by the restrictions placed on him by the courts, decided to arrange a rendezvous with an underage girl.

According to police, on March 14, Heaton placed a telephone call to the Noble High School pretending to be the father of a 15-year-old female student. Heaton reportedly authorized the girl to be checked out of school early.

Heaton then met up with the girl outside the school and took her and another juvenile girl to the OU Motel in Norman.

Police were tipped off to Heaton's shenanigans and located him and the teen girls in the hotel room.

One of the girls admitted to having a sexual relationship with Heaton since September.

Just today, newly elected Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn filed felony charges of rape and contributing to the delinquency of a minor against Heaton.

UPDATE: When KFOR News Channel 4 went to the residential address Heaton listed (the one where he was supposed to be on house arrest), it seems the home wasn't there - Literally!

According to neighbors, Heaton's trailer house had been repossessed within the last few days.
