You Can’t Believe People Can Get Off Like That, And Then They Do
The perv who got caught because of his website gets off on a technicality:
Posted: September 4th, 2007 | Filed under: That's An Outrage!Five times last year, porn actor and registered sex offender Kenneth Hoyt allegedly exposed himself and started masturbating on Manhattan subways — once in front of two 16-year-old girls.
But the whole bundle of misdemeanor charges — including seven counts of public lewdness, one count of indecent exposure and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child — were dismissed by a criminal court judge last week.
The reason? Prosecutors with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office missed the legal deadline for bringing the Hell’s Kitchen perv to trial in a timely manner — by only four days.
ADA Amir Vonsover, who was the lead prosecutor on the case, conceded it was now too late to bring Hoyt to justice.
Hoyt left court smiling Thursday after his legal windfall. He declined to comment except to say he enjoyed the prospect of the District Attorney’s Office being embarrassed by their snafu.
“That’d be good,” he grinned.
