KALISPELL, Mont. (AP) - A Montana man convicted in 1997 of sexually assaulting two underage girls has been ordered back to prison after a judge said he violated terms of his parole.
The Daily Interlake reports (https://bit.ly/2nRLV7T ) 58-year-old William Lester Rardon was told to return to prison by the end of last week.
Rardon had served 17 years of a 37-year sentence when he was released. His parole officer said in a March hearing that Rardon had lost his job because of sexual harassment allegations and had photos on a cellphone of an infant girl.
The parole officer, Shellie Stichman, testified that Rardon was a danger to the community and should be in prison.
The director of a community-based sex offender treatment program, Robert Bakko, testified that Rardon hadn’t been rehabilitated and needed further treatment.
