Q: Consequences of new charges and parole status for fiancé in Kentucky.
My fiancé committed a felony aggravated assault in the 2nd degree in 2012 while on parole and was also charged with persistent felony offender (PFO). Recently, he violated parole by absconding for 4 months, during which he was indicted for identity theft in Henderson, Kentucky, after providing a false identity to police using a fake social security number. His original sentence was 19 years at 20%, with a minimum release date from parole in April 2026. He has a public defender, and his first parole violation was for possession of cocaine at age 18; he committed the aggravated assault while still on parole, and his parole has been previously revoked for violations. His next court date for the recent charges is in June 2025, and he was offered a plea deal of 3 years for the new identity theft charge. What legal consequences could he face with these new charges and his parole status?
A: At least three years and it will violate his parole status. He is dodging the PFO I so it may not be that bad an offer but he is most likely going back to prison regardless.
