LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man jailed for more than seven years without a conviction while facing child sex assault and lewdness charges in Las Vegas is expected to be sentenced to probation in a plea deal that avoided a retrial.
Warren Shannon McClinton is due Tuesday before a judge who told him in September he'll face 30 months of probation for pleading an equivalent of no contest to second-degree kidnapping.
McClinton is now 49. He has said he wants to move to Chicago to serve his probation.
His 2008 case drew attention as he lingered behind bars at the Clark County jail, unable to post $130,000 bail.
McClinton was acquitted of one sex assault charge at his first trial last June, and jurors deadlocked on seven charges including sexual assault, lewdness and battery.
