Sex Offender Gets Probation Deal

Sex Offender Gets Probation Deal

About this episode

A registered sex offender received a surprising probation deal instead of a lengthy prison sentence due to a plea agreement and judicial discretion.

A registered sex offender facing over two decades in prison just got three years probation — a stunning twist fueled by a plea deal, legal delays, and a judge’s rare departure from sentencing norms. Michael Ken Aller, convicted of aggravated sexual battery after assaulting a woman in March, avoided jail thanks to a joint agreement between defense and prosecution. His prior conviction for involving a minor adds weight to the judge’s cautious approval of probation — complete with strict conditions: no contact with the victim, mandatory sex offender evaluations, lifelong registration, and sobriety with random drug tests. Violate any rule, and the 20-year sentence looms again. The judge called it a tough, emotional call — but ultimately, the safest path forward.
