POLSON — A former Lake County man who was designated a tier three sex offender was sentenced at District Court in Polson March 3, to 38 years in the Montana State Prison with 20 years suspended for violating parole stemming from a rape conviction in 2009.
James Dean Brown, 29, admitted to violating terms of his probation by consuming drugs and alcohol.
Brown was charged with five counts of sexual intercourse without consent for assaulting five children at his mother’s daycare in 2009. Brown was a juvenile at the time of the offense and given 50 years in prison on each count with 38 years suspended. Due to his age at the time, Judge Deborah “Kim” Christopher ran the sentences concurrent to each other for a total of 12 years in prison.
Judge Christopher gave Brown credit for having already served 191 days jail time and ordered Brown to successfully complete the state run sex offender, mental health and chemical dependency treatment programs.
