Parole board denies Charles Jones, cites prior sex‑offense history and lack of required treatment
Summary
Charles Jones, convicted previously of forcible sexual offenses and identified as a moderate static‑99 risk, was denied parole after the board heard victim opposition and found Jones had not completed required sex‑offender treatment.
The Committee on Parole denied Charles Jones (DLC 495599) parole after reviewing his conviction history, risk assessments and program record. The district attorney and the victim’s family urged the board to deny release; the DA emphasized Jones’ prior sexual‑offense history and the absence of completed required offender treatment.
Jones told the board he had not had the opportunity to participate in the four‑phase sex‑offender program in his custody history and denied committing the assault to which he had pled. Board members repeatedly pressed Jones on programming gaps and his Static‑99 moderate‑risk classification. One member told Jones he needed "your *** offender treatment class" and that the lack of completed programming, prior offenses and law‑enforcement opposition supported denial.
Panel members voted to deny parole and recommended that Jones complete the required sex‑offender treatment as a precondition for future consideration. The board recorded opposition from law enforcement and the DA; the denial will be documented in the case file and communicated to supervising authorities.
