Jail Time For Convicted Sex Offender Likely

District Judge Ed McLean made it clear Tuesday morning that convicted sex offender David Paisley will see some jail time after making an unauthorized visit to Bonner Park last week. I spoke with Missoula Police Detective Chris Shermer, the officer responsible for Paisley’s original arrest on charges of enticing a minor, on Tuesday afternoon. That interview is attached.

Paisley was placed on house arrest after Tuesday’s court hearing. Whether he goes to prison…and for how long…will be decided by Judge McLean in early August.
