Cass County (trfnews.i234.me) — A Cass County man is listed as a moderate-risk offender on the North Dakota Sex Offender Registry after a federal conviction for child sexual abuse. Records confirm that Herbert Kevin Blue Shield Jr., 59, is currently incarcerated.
According to registry documents, Blue Shield was convicted in U.S. Federal Court in North Dakota on April 24, 2003. The charge was sexual abuse of a child under 15. He was sentenced to 108 months in custody, followed by three years of supervised release. His registration is set to expire on December 20, 2035.
Registry details describe Blue Shield as American Indian, six feet tall, weighing 223 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair. His skin tone is listed as medium brown. Several tattoos are documented, including tribal warrior symbols, animal figures such as a bear, wolf, eagle, buffalo, and designs featuring crosses, birds, and buffalo skulls.
His last registered address before incarceration was on 34th Street South in Fargo, located in Cass County. The registry lists his ethnicity as non-Hispanic or not Latino, and his current registration status as “incarcerated.”
The North Dakota Attorney General’s Office notes that sex offender registry information is public to promote safety and awareness. However, using this information to harass or harm offenders is against the law. Officials also state that positive identification requires fingerprint verification.
Residents seeking more information can visit the North Dakota Sex Offender Registry or the National Sex Offender Public Website for nationwide records.
