TAVARES, Florida—The man accused of attacking three women and trying to run down a Eustis police officer in 2023 will spend the next 15 years of his life in prison – and when he gets out, he will be labeled a sexual predator and serve 15 years of probation, according to Lake County Clerk of Court online records.
Jephson Seguin pleaded guilty to attempted sexual battery, attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and fleeing or attempting to elude on Monday. Seguin, of Eustis, is accused of attacking two women in the spring of 2023 and a third woman on June 27, 2023, and when EPD arrived on the scene of the third attack, he attempted to run over former EPD Officer Cody Schneider as he exited his patrol vehicle. Schneider fired three shots, striking Seguin in the shoulder and he fled the scene in a vehicle and stayed on the run for three days until he was finally arrested on June 30, 2023, after his parents called EPD.
When officers apprehended him in his Eustis neighborhood, they found he had not received medical treatment for the gunshot wound, and he was taken to a Level II Trauma Center in Sanford. He was booked into the Lake County Jail after receiving treatment for the wound and posted a $37,000 bond the following day. He was released with several stipulations, including no contact orders with the female victim in his latest attack and Schneider, and a GPS monitor. After pleading guilty to the three charges Tuesday, he was booked into LCJ where he will await transfer to a state prison.
