(Connersville, IN)--A Connersville photographer accused of photographing and sexually abusing young children recently pled not guilty to local charges.  Now, 22-year-old Mikell Shepard has also pled not guilty to federal charges.  The federal case against Shepard will be tried first.  Once that is complete, he can also be tried locally.  Investigators would still like to hear from the parents or guardians of children who may have been victimized.
