KPRC-2 reports that former local talk radio host Jon Matthews was sentenced to jail today:
A former Houston radio talk show host will spend three years in prison after he violated his probation for an indecency with a child conviction, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Jon Matthews pleaded guilty in August 2004 to indecency with a child by exposure after he exposed himself to a neighbor’s 11-year-old daughter. He received a seven-year probated sentence.
The Fort Bend County district attorney’s office said Matthews violated his probation in several ways — excessive drinking, not completing a counseling program, using the Internet in a manner inconsistent with conditions of his probation and getting within 1,000 feet of a school.
Matthews did not dispute the claims in court.
The man obviously needs help, and here’s hoping he finds it. But at a minimum, he needed to be off the streets.
