A Joplin sex offender will not return to prison for violating the terms of his probation.
U. S. District Court Judge Roseann A. Ketchmark order Urban Danley, 34, to enter a residential re-entry center until it is determined by the center director "after consultation with a parole officer" that he can be released.
The stay at the residential center is not to exceed 120 days, according to the order.
Danley was less than four months into a five-year probationary period when the government filed its motion to revoke the probation..
Court records show Danley is a Tier 3 offender who is required to register four times a year for the rest of his life.
The original conviction occurred in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, where he was convicted in 2003 at age 20, of lewd molestation of a 6-year-old victim.
Danley's record was spelled out in a detention motion filed November 4, 2015, in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri:
