Ms. McCandless was convicted last year, served 45 days in jail, must register as a sex offender and was out on bail. That is until she violated her parole. As the Post explains,
On March 6, she got in bed with a man without seeking approval.
Apparently having consensual sexual relations with an adult is a violation of her parole. I find that astonishing.
I don't know if her lawyer just got her a bad deal or if this is a standard condition of parole for non-violent first-time sex offenders but it seems remarkable to me that she could be jailed for such an action.
I don't have any sympathy for McCandless and if she had been a man she would have spent a lot more than 45 days in jail but should the State of Colorado be able to jail her for this? I don't think so.
