LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas man who's been jailed without a conviction since August 2008 was set to go free Monday after taking a plea deal that avoids a retrial on charges that he sexually assaulted the 14-year-old daughter of a friend.
With prospective jurors waiting in the hallway, 48-year-old Warren Shannon McClinton pleaded an equivalent of no contest to felony second-degree kidnapping.
With time already served, he'll face 30 months of probation when he's formally sentenced Jan. 26.
If he violates probation, he could face five-to-15 years in prison.
He won't have to register as a sex offender.
McClinton had been facing seven sexual assault, lewdness and battery charges that could have gotten him life in prison.
He was acquitted of one sex assault charge at his first trial in June.
