PTR filed on convicted sex offender after mug turns up on dating site
SALINE CO.—Authorities have confirmed that a petition to revoke has been filed in the case of convicted sex offender Shannon Burton, 40, Carrier Mills.
Shannon Burton, from her now-defunct MySpace
Burton is the woman who was accused in July 2009 of having sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old boy following a game of ‘truth or dare,’ something that seems to be the thing for homely women to do with underage kids in that area of Saline County (see current issue back-page story, ‘Syrup girl’).
Burton took a plea in August of last year, and was sentenced in November. However, she received the equivalent of a slap on the wrist from liberal Judge Walden Morris—four years probation, even though Saline County Assistant State’s Attorney, Eva Walker, argued strenuously for time in DOC, not only to show Burton that what she did was wrong, but to set the tone for others, male or female, who might be inclined to do the same.
Part of Burton’s sentence was that she NOT be on the computer, and NOT posting on social networking sites. She had been found trolling MySpace over this past summer ‘chatting’ with a boy who claimed to be 18 but who looked all of 15. She was NOT to have a profile on any such site and was prohibited from getting on the Internet at all.
Then late last week, someone brought it to the attention of the authorities that he had seen Burton on an obscure dating site. Sources indicate that the man was asked to come to the state’s attorney’s office and show them; he did, and up popped Burton’s face and profile, trolling again for ‘companionship.’
In response to this, Walker, who handles sex crimes for the county, filed a petition to revoke Burton’s probation, on two bases: that she had started up another social networking profile, and that she had been online at all, both of them prohibited as terms of her probation….and which apparently didn’t last but a matter of weeks.
Whether Morris will revoke the probation, or order another wrist slap, remains to be seen. We may know by the next print version; be sure and pick one up, Feb. 9.

Thank you OldDog! I will always remember you, your quest and how hard you have fought against some of the big guys who have bullied you & used your most precious gift of all!
Yeah. He may not appreciate it someday. He will be somebody one day. He already told me that he wants to be a rock star after he opens his pet store. So they better watch out!
AWWW, that is too sweet though! Think about it. He probably shares his innermost feelings with you and feels comfortable in doing so..
You have got to understand who this girls mother is!If she can make a dollar for her daughter going to jail she will do everything to make it happen!She wants the check that Shannon gets from her child support from the girls father.The father of Shannons child pays monthly.Plus Shannon has paid off her home and her mother keeps a home tied up with housing but dont live there.Got to know the story and the facts!
@Jack,You said Danial Sherfield in the story about sex afferder Collins,Danial is a Juvinal,Farther is Danny!But could have went eather way,15 year old Danial has a child from a 14 year old.And he has been at Shannons home and Danny did date{OR SCREW HER MOTHER}
@Glaucoma: yuk. What are you saying…that the younger kid Daniel was doing Shannon too? And who was the 14-year-old girl who had a kid?
Are we looking at a batch of young kids who are earning badges of honor with these older ‘ladies’?
Are they watching too much sleazy TV? Good God.
I can remember when I was 2 and had chicken pox, so it is possible!
I can’t understand why a grown woman would want a 13 yo boy. can she not deal with a real man?
@skool mom: we’ve wondered the EXACT same thing. We think it might have something to do with control. If she had a host of bad relationships (and we hear that Shannon did) with men her age or older, then as she ages, maybe she thinks the younger the better, get one who will treat her like she perceives herself (some kind of sex goddess maybe?) and won’t mess her over…and she can discard him when she’s done with him. At least that’s what some of the criminal psychology books we have say….sounds very logical to me though, as an explanation. Why someone is that messed up in their head though is one of those mysteries best solved with intense psychotherapy….and from what we’ve seen over the years, there’s not a lot you can do with a child sex offender, especially one who doesn’t see that that’s what he or she is.
Old Dog – don’t know her but the situation is all too familiar!!
SouthernILGirl – Since I like you I have to say please keep it that way if you can possibly help it. She leaves a path of destruction like none you have ever seen.
Its just i know both familys and they think alike,None has ever had a job but lived off the tax payers.Shannon learned from her mother to live off any man who was willing to pay her rent or house payment!All the Sherfields have drawed STUPID check all there lives,The more kids the merrier,More food money,More rent money,Best medical,and let them run at large so nobody had to take care of them,I dont know who the 14 year girls name is but can find out.Thats just more income for their grand mother{RING LEADER}.Her only daughter had a child but i have heard its Dannys,Her brothers.The one who went with Shannons mom.Danny has 3 or 4 for his mother to draw checks off of.She has put all her kids on STUPID checks,And all her grandkids.
Shannons mother is the same way,Never had a job,Lived off the tax payers,Put her brother {WHO LIVED OFF TAX PAYERS}in a nuresing home and sold everything he owned for the money.He was just a drunk!
Shannon couldnt get out of her mothers sight when she was growing up,And if you check she was liveing with Shannon and keeping a tax payers apt at the same time.Always has and still does.{HOPE SOME POOR WOMAN WITH KIDS DIDNT NEED IT}Dont mean to get off the subject but all needs to hear the truth!Her mother is a drunk and will take all she can off anybody she can!{POINT} Lived with her last lover till he up and died she went and took all his money out of the bank and saveings the day he was pronounced dead.Everything she could grab out of his home in Ozark until his family put a stop to it.
Yes she would do this to her own daughter for money and claim her grand daughter as income….FACT.
