Summary

Kenneth Rosell’s parole was denied July 17, 2025, after panel review found he had not completed required classes and the victim and district attorney remained opposed.

Kenneth Rosell was denied parole July 17, 2025. The panel reviewed Rosell’s record and staff advised he had not completed required sex‑offender treatment or Victim Impact programming. The district attorney and the victim opposed release.

Rosell told the panel he had made poor choices, cited alcohol and drug problems and said he had changed; he noted a recent hip replacement. Courtney Cheson, speaking on behalf of the victim, said the reduced charge and 15‑year sentence still left the family uncomfortable with an early release. The panel concluded Rosell had not completed rehabilitative programming and denied parole.

Decision: Denied. Panel members cited lack of programming completion and victim safety concerns as reasons for denial.
