Sparks enters plea on six counts of rape  -A A +A By Thomas Barr
 SHEPHERDSVILLE - A man has entered an Alford plea on six counts
of rape.  Rodney Allen Sparks, 45, of Shepherdsville, entered a
plea recently to a 14-year sentence on the various counts.
Commonwealth Attorney Michael Mann said he would object to any
probation or alternative sentence.  However, because of the
violent nature of the crime, Sparks would not be eligible and
must serve 85 percent of the sentence before being considered
for parole.   Renew Current or Past Subscription / Register for
