Former University Employee, Stephanie Gueck Neipling, Pleads Guilty in Shocking Arkansas Sexual Abuse Case

 

A former employee of the University of Arkansas has recently pleaded guilty following her arrest on charges of sexually abusing a minor. Stephanie Gueck Neipling, aged 42, has already completed her jail sentence, which exceeded her 116-day incarceration period due to time served. 

As part of her legal consequences, she is now obligated to undergo six years of probation and register as a sex offender.

This disturbing incident led to significant life changes for Neipling. Her husband initiated divorce proceedings, and the university promptly terminated her employment shortly after her arrest on July 13.

The legal case stemmed from a report made by the victim to the Rogers, Arkansas police department. The victim disclosed the sexual abuse that he had endured a few days earlier, ultimately leading to Neipling's arrest. 

Subsequently, another incident of sexual abuse occurred, which was described by the victim in the affidavit. According to authorities, Neipling contacted the victim via Snapchat and invited him to her friend's apartment, where another sexual encounter transpired.

On July 9, Neipling allegedly sent explicit photos of herself to the victim and engaged in sexual conversations with him. She inquired about his experience from the previous night, adding a troubling layer to the case. 

Initially, Neipling denied the allegations but eventually admitted to engaging in "sexual intercourse" with the minor. According to authorities, the illicit activities took place at her friend's apartment, with the juvenile leaving the premises after the encounter. 

Later, the friend left the apartment, and the juvenile returned, engaging in further inappropriate sexual activity. Neipling even confessed to sending the victim explicit photos of her breasts.

Stephanie Neipling previously held the position of associate director of external relations for the Don Tyson Center for Agricultural Sciences at the University of Arkansas. The university has since removed her profile page from their website.
