A sex offender given probation in part due to his height should be resentenced because his punishment is too lenient, the state of Nebraska said in a court filing Monday. In May, District Judge Kristine Cecava sentenced Richard W. Thompson to 10 years of intensive probation for two counts of sexual assault of a child on the grounds that the 5-foot-1 Thompson would be at particular risk if sent to prison. Cevaca's decision not to imprison Thompson brought local and national criticism.
