Description
[67 Cal2d Page 874] MOSK, J. In 1948 petitioner Kenneth James Wells entered a plea of guilty to a violation of section 288 of the Penal Code for sexual misconduct with a five-year-old girl. He was adjudged a sexual psychopath and committed to a state hospital. After a year and a half in the hospital, petitioner was returned to the superior court and granted probation. In 1951, upon evidence of similar offenses, his probation was revoked and he was sentenced to state prison for the term of one year to life. His appeal from the revocation proceeding was unsuccessful (People v. Wells (1952) 112 Cal. App. 2d 672 [246 P.2d 1023]), and he was not paroled until 1960.
