An Aiken County judge ordered toe-sucking sex offender Joey Leaphart to spend a year in prison for failing to properly register.
Aiken County Summary Judge Tracey Carroll ordered a sentence of 366 days for Leaphart. He is sitting in the county jail right now, awaiting transport to prison.
This week’s sentence should be a welcome relief for local women and law enforcement, who have been on alert for this pervert. He has been seen across the CSRA, asking women to kiss their feet so he can get down and actually suck their toes, according to previous police reports.
Columbia County authorities took the unusual step of warning residents of the sex offender on their Facebook page.
Earlier this month, he tried to kiss a woman’s feet outside a Grovetown restaurant. He said he was from Atlanta and came to town for a funeral but had lost his wallet and needed gas money. The woman and her friend gave him money, and the suspect asked if he could kiss her feet.
“He told her it might bring her good luck, because he had kissed his wife`s feet, and she had won a thousand dollars right after that,” a sheriff’s report says.
The lady refused and left the restaurant quickly.
A day later, Leaphart was arrested in Aiken County for violating the S.C. Sex Offender Registry law by not properly registering, setting up the court date.
Leaphart became a registered sex offender after serving five years in prison for licking an 11-year-old’s toes.
