PADUCAH, Ky. (KBSI) – Paducah police ask for the public’s help finding a man charged in a warrant with violation of a protection order.

Brent E. Clark, 49, of Hickory, Ky. is charged in a warrant with violation of an Interpersonal Protection Order (IPO).

He was convicted of sexually abusing a young woman in 2020 and who now has violated an IPO by going into the woman’s place of employment, according to Paducah police.

Clark was charged with first-degree sexual abuse in 2020, and convicted of an amended charge of third-degree sexual abuse in May 2022. He was convicted of violating an EPO involving the young woman in August 2022 and again in November 2022.

Clark was released from jail March 1, 2023. On June 19, the victim told Sgt. Nathan Jaimet with the Paducah Police Department that Clark had entered her place of employment on the previous day. She said Clark had done so before.

Police suspect that Clark also is not in compliance with the Kentucky Sex Offender Registry.

Sgt. Jaimet requested a Kentucky State Police trooper check Clark’s residence of record with the registry. The owner of the property, located in Hickory, said Clark hasn’t lived there in several weeks.

Anyone with information about Clark’s whereabouts is asked to call the Paducah Police Department at 270-444-8550.
