A 52-year-old Towaoc man was ordered to register as a sex offender in late February after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual contact.<\/p>\n
The prosecuting attorney asked the judge to sentence Cecil Tabbee to a year of jail, District Attorney Will Furse said.<\/p>\n
Judge Todd Plewe did not add any time to the 238 days Tabbee had already served. But he did order Tabbee to pay about $2,000 in fines.<\/p>\n
In July, Tabbee was arrested on suspicion of attempted sexual assault in Centennial Park.<\/p>\n
The incident was witnessed by a man walking by, who asked another man to call police, according to police documents.<\/p>\n
Before the police arrived, the witness intervened and told Tabbee he had to get away from the victim.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, Tabbee was walking away from the area with his pants unbuttoned and unzipped.<\/p>\n
He told the officer he had bought the victim alcohol, but he had never done anything the victim didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want him to.<\/p>\n
He claimed he was trying to help her with her clothes.<\/p>\n
