(Stillwater, Okla.) — A convicted child molester, who was released from prison in mid-April, has pleaded guilty to a charge of illegally residing less than 2,000 feet from Cushing High School, which is prohibited for a sex offender.
Maynard Leroy Lane, 48, who was living in the 1400 block of E. Walnut Street in Cushing when he was arrested on April 30, now lists a different address in Cushing, court records show.
In court Friday, Lane was placed on three years’ probation except 60 days in jail, which he has apparently already served, and ordered to pay the cost of his incarceration.
According to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, Lane has an extensive criminal record including a 1988 conviction for first-degree manslaughter in Texas for which he was given a 10-year prison term.
Lane also has a 1993 conviction for auto burglary in New Mexico for which he received one year’s probation, DOC records show.
Lane was also convicted in 1995 in Leflore County of possession of a firearm after a former felony conviction for which he received five years’ probation, court records show.
In Payne County, Lane, who was then living in Stillwater, pleaded guilty in 2006 to lewd molestation and rape by instrumentation of a 15-year-old girl in Stillwater in 2004, court records show.
For those sex offenses, Lane was sentenced to serve seven years in prison beginning on May 5, 2006, at 3 p.m., court records show.
After Lane failed to report to the Payne County Jail as ordered to be transported to state prison, he was arrested on May 26, 2006, for escape, and given a five-year prison term to serve after he finished his sex offenses sentence, court records show.***
