AboutJack Toomey Expertise Please do not ask me about potential jail sentences that you, your friends, or family might receive in court. There is no way for me to know that. Only a judge could answer a question like that. I am also NOT a probation officer or parole officer so I cannot answer questions that relate to parole or probation. Also please keep in mind that every state has different laws. If you are planning to ask a question about a specific law or criminal charge that pertains to your state only it could be difficult to answer.
Retired police officer with 26 years experience. Worked in the patrol
division as well as over 14 years in the detective bureau. Investigated a
wide range of crime such as murder, rape, robbery, theft, fraud, missing
persons, and other very sensitive crimes. I am available to answer your
questions about criminal law and especially as it applies to police work. I
taught at the police academy for several years and am especially
knowledgeable about search and seizure. Any question about criminal law is
welcome! Please don't ask me to do your homework or ask me questions that obviously come from your teachers or professors. I also do not do online interviews or surveys. Young people need to gain face to face interviewing skills. Local police officers usually are very agreeable to assist in these assignments.

Expert: Jack Toomey Date: 6/30/2008 Subject: sexual battery of a child
Question After a person has been convicted of sexual battery of a child, is there a provision of their release from prison that they not be allowed unsupervised association with a child under 15 years of age? Specifically, a female convicted and released after serving 3 years, now having contact with a 14 year old boy (overnight visits, etc.) with no other adult present?
Thank you.

There are fifty states and each state has a different set of laws. In those fifty states there are tens of thousands of judges and an equal amount of probation officers.
Any given judge could apply any given law to any defendant upon their release from prison depending on the law in your state, the circumstances of the case, and the input of the probation and/or parole officer. So what I am basically saying is that the scenario that you state COULD happen and that on the other hand any other possibilty could also happen.
