(AP) — A convicted sex offender released from a Nebraska prison in March has been charged with sexually assaulting a 7-year-old child last month in York County.

48-year-old Ross Shepherd, of rural Hampton, has pleaded not guilty to four counts.

Records say Shepherd was convicted in August 1997 and in October 2010 of sexually assaulting children. For the 2010 conviction, he was sentenced to five years in prison. He was released from custody this past March.

His trial is scheduled to begin on Nov. 13.
