Billy Gene Stephens

The Camden County Prosecuting Attorney, Richelle Grosvenor, announced today that Billy Gene Stephens III was sentenced after entering a plea of guilty in the Webster County Court, Missouri, to one count of statutory rape and one count of child molestation.

Stephens, a former Missouri Park Ranger, was arrested while on-duty in July 2025 and was immediately placed on administrative leave.

On December 30, 2025, the court accepted the plea, finding that the plea was entered knowingly and voluntarily. The charges stem from incidents involving a minor.

Stephens was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment and 7 years of imprisonment, on the two charges. The sentences are to be served concurrently, in the Missouri Department of Corrections.

"The Camden County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office remains committed to holding offenders accountable and protecting the safety and well-being of children in our community. Anyone with information regarding crimes against children is encouraged to contact local law enforcement or the Missouri Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline," the Prosecutor's office said.

This case was referred for charges by the Camden County Sheriff’s Office.
