Convicted Child Molester James Lamb Headed Back to Coalinga

8-4-2012 California:

SALINAS, Calif- A man who has admitted to molesting over 50 kids is leaving his home on River Road. James Lamb was in court Friday morning to be sentenced on charges that he was late when failing to register as a sex offender.

Prosecutors pushed for a three year state prison sentence based on his "behavior by manipulation and disregard for the treatment program and destain for law enforcement." They argued that Lamb knew that he had to re-register and he just did not do it.

Letters were also found while Lamb was in jail, that showed he was communicating with other men within the Sexually Violent Predator program and discussing ways he could be released early. Lamb has expressed interest in the past he wanted to go live with his mom in Arizona.

Lawyers for Lamb said that if he was sent back to prison, he would have to start the Sexually Violent Predator Program from the very beginning.

The judge in the case ruled that Lamb will not go back to state prison but he will have to go back to the Coalinga State Hospital and stay in the phase 4 treatment of the Violent Predator Program. ..Source.. by Kiki Jones
