[Vision2020] Sitler will request to live with son

Tue Aug 16 15:02:59 PDT 2016

I have to say at as a lay person I understand very little of the nuances and complexities of the law.  Naturally, I wish at times (in truth most of the time) we all lived in Roseland so my notions of justice, truth, and the American way could direct the people who have spent many years of studying and working to understand and administer our legal system.  But luckily for all of us I only get to be in charge of me.  And, for that reason I respectfully leave the administration of justice in the very capable hands on Judge John Stegner who is respected throughout Idaho by those who actually trained and practice the law in Idaho.   I know from personal experience when I was teaching literacy and GED education to folks in Latah County Jail of his thoughtfulness to me (and I was just a volunteer), the staff, and my students.

PS Would I like to see Steven Sitler banned forever and ever amen from any contact with any child under eighteen? You bet I would.  But my outrage at that nasty miscreant has absolutely nothing to do with what the law will allow, and actually given all the people who annoy the hell out of me it is probably a good, indeed great thing, that my responsibility for deciding the judicial fate of others exists only between my ears!

Ah, yes . . . Steven James Sitler . . . one of the many beneficiaries of Judge Stegner's Catch-and-Release Program.

Rumor has it that The Steg is going to fatten up his program with a frequent-flyer option.

Janesta, Rose Huskey & I will be there, just as we’ve been at the vast majority of Sitler’s court hearings since we first learned about his abhorrent crimes and the continuing travesties of justice pertaining to his beyond lenient  sentencing and the court’s continuing inexplicable pattern of cutting this fixated pedophile pass after pass after pass.

I know it’s short notice for many at the end of summer and with schools getting ready to start back up, but it’s my fervent hope that as many as possible will take time from their busy schedules to be at the hearing to witness the State trying to protect an innocent infant who had the misfortune to be born into a completely dysfunctional family unit, and to see whether Judge Stegner cares more about protecting a baby from a fixated pedophile or protecting the convicted sex offender who has already victimized scores of children.

[Note:  for those who do attend, I also urge them to remember that our criminal justice system requires that defendants have robust and competent legal representation.  IOW, save your anger for the convicted sex offender and the judge who could have sentenced Sitler to life in prison but who has instead continued to cut the Christian miscreant slack at every turn.]

Sitler will request to live with son

Sex offender admitted to having 'contact with his child that resulted in actual sexual stimulation'

An attorney for convicted sex offender Steven Sitler will ask 2nd District Court Judge John Stegner on Wednesday to allow his client to once again reside with his family and young son under the chaperonage of his wife and parents.

Latah County Prosecuting Attorney Bill Thompson said the state will oppose the motion.

This past September, Sitler, who was already serving a life term of probation for lewd conduct with a child under 16, admitted in a state polygraph test to having "contact with his child that resulted in actual sexual stimulation." At that point a judge ordered Sitler must have an approved chaperone within direct line-of-sight anytime he was with his child. His wife, Katie Sitler, and parents were disqualified as approved chaperones at the time due to failure to report incidents and disclosures. Steven Sitler's mother, Roxanne Sitler, was reinstated as a chaperone in January. Steven Sitler's attorneys will request that his father, Dave Sitler, be reinstated as chaperone as well.

Steven Sitler served one year with the Idaho Department of Corrections and less than a year in the custody of the Latah County Jail after he was sentenced to life in prison with retained jurisdiction in September 2006 under a Rule 11 plea agreement with the state of Idaho for lewd conduct with a child under 16. After serving almost two years, he was released with a life term of probation.

According to a letter from Valley Treatment Specialties submitted to the court April 7, Katie Sitler attended individual chaperone review and planning sessions and successfully completed her obligation with VTS, which was recommended by the state. In an additional letter submitted April 25, treatment provider David Nystrom, writing on behalf of VTS, wrote Katie Sitler had demonstrated an increase in knowledge and skill and was an appropriate chaperone for Steven Sitler and the couple's son.

VTS also developed a suggested "safety plan," which had been requested by the state, before Steven Sitler could begin residing with his family. The plan included 12 stipulations, including:

*	Steven Sitler must be in the line of sight of a chaperone when he is with his son;
*	Steven Sitler is not allowed to be alone with his son or to bath or diaper the child;
*	When Katie Sitler is in the bathroom, Steven Sitler or the couple's son must be in line of sight when another chaperone is not present;
*	Steven Sitler will report high-risk behaviors and may be polygraphed;
*	Katie Sitler may be asked to participate in a polygraph if reasonable concern is present regarding possible violations of the plan or chaperone agreement.

Steven Sitler's hearing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Wednesday in the Latah County Courthouse.
