LOS ANGELES (AP) - A self-described pedophile was released from jail Tuesday after prosecutors dropped a criminal case accusing him of violating a judge’s order prohibiting him from being within 30 feet of children anywhere in California for three years.
Prosecutors could not pursue the case against Jack McClellan, 45, after they determined the order was invalid because the judge failed to schedule and give McClellan proper notice of a hearing required to argue the merits of imposing such a long-lasting order before it is issued.
McClellan was arrested Aug. 13 for investigation of violating the order when he was found near a child care center at the University of California, Los Angeles. He had a camera with him at the time, but he told a local TV station that there wasn’t any film in it.
McClellan was arrested again - several hours later - this time for trespassing after he did an interview with the TV station on university grounds. He had been told not to return to the campus after his first arrest. Prosecutors did not pursue the trespassing charges.
Superior Court Judge Melvin Sandvig issued the order Aug. 3 requiring McClellan to stay at least 30 feet away from every person under age 18 in California for a three-year period, said Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney’s office.
A three-year order amounts to what is termed a preliminary injunction, and cannot be issued without the statutory hearing and notice requirements, according to the city attorney’s office.

Sounded like he might be getting a clue …that paedophilia and paedophiles will NOT be tolerated.
I can’t feel bad about him fearing for his life, either..what about those of us that fear for our children and grandchildrens lives every hour of every day because of paedos?
Fear for his life?? I’d say he has damned good reason to fear for his life…
My daughters are grown but my grands are 12, 10, 3 1/2 and 9 months, let TexasFred catch him, or someone LIKE him near one of mine and I’ll show you what Texas Justice looks like, and how it’s properly administered…

I watched the video above and he said “I’m not going to get out of here alive”.
Gee…ya think ?
I followed Jo from her crosspost over here.
This guy is going to hurt a child one of these days, why cant the system see this?
Gah! I am so sick of these creeps getting away with this crap.
I am glad JM is fearing for his life. We can only hope some vigilante with a .308 bumps him off from a distance some day soon……
I keep inviting ol’ Jack to come on down to lower Alabama if he feels unsafe in Kalifornia, but for some reason he doesn’t see fit to take me up on the offer.
Do you think it was something I said?
