25 Years For A Forbidden Shower

ST. CHARLES, Mo. (CN) - A judge sentenced a sex offender to 25 years in prison for taking a shower that violated his terms of his probation. Stephen W. Sell, 56, pleaded guilty in February to one count of sodomy and one count of child molestation and was placed on 5 years probation. Sell then entered a home from which he was prohibited, and took a shower. Children were in the home, but did not see him. Sell said he was homeless and had to get ready for a job interview.
