🚨 Mentor Resident Held on $2M Bond in Child Sex Crime Case

A 22-year-old Mentor man, previously convicted of a sex offense, is now facing additional felony charges involving alleged crimes against children.

According to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and court records, David Matthew Anderson-Shockey II has been charged with gross sexual imposition, two counts of disseminating material harmful to juveniles, and one count of possessing material harmful to juveniles.

Anderson-Shockey is classified as a Tier II sex offender due to a 2024 conviction for pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor.

The latest investigation began on July 12, when a mother reported to Willoughby Police that her 12-year-old son had been sexually assaulted the previous day while visiting a friend’s home. During a police interview, the child identified Anderson-Shockey and said he worked at a local donut and pizza shop. That information was later confirmed through the suspect’s offender registration.

Further investigation revealed that Anderson-Shockey had allegedly shown explicit videos and images to the boy and two other minors—a 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl. Both girls told authorities they had seen the content on his phone, and one of them stated she was connected to him on Snapchat and could view his location.

The boy also reported that Anderson-Shockey touched him inappropriately.

Following these allegations, authorities located and arrested Anderson-Shockey. He is currently being held at the Lake County Jail with bond set at $2 million. The case has been forwarded to the Lake County Grand Jury for review.

⚾ Ramírez Homers Early, But Cleveland Bullpen Falters in 8-2 Loss

The Cleveland Guardians couldn’t hold an early lead Saturday night, falling 8-2 to the Oakland Athletics at Progressive Field after allowing a flurry of late home runs.

José Ramírez gave Cleveland a 2-0 advantage in the third with his 19th homer of the season, a two-run shot following Nolan Jones’ single. Ramírez continued his strong track record against Oakland’s Luis Severino, improving to 6-for-14 with four homers.

Oakland answered in the fourth with three straight doubles to tie it and a single by Miguel Andujar to take the lead. Guardians starter Logan Allen allowed three runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.

The A’s pulled away late. In the eighth, Nick Kurtz doubled and Shea Langeliers followed with a two-run homer off Nic Enright. Kolby Allard gave up two more home runs in the ninth — to Jacob Wilson and Kurtz — as Oakland extended its lead to six.

Despite the loss, Cleveland has won 20 of its last 26 games against the A’s. The series wraps up Sunday with Gavin Williams starting for the Guardians against Oakland’s Jeffrey Springs.
