Prosecutors Drop Charges, Free Pedophile McClellan

 SLIDESHOW: Pedophiles Among Us

 RELATED STORIES: Jack McClellan

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Los Angeles prosecutors have dropped a criminal case against a self-described pedophile who was arrested last week at UCLA after he allegedly violated an order that prohibited him from being within 30 feet of children anywhere in California for three years.

Prosecutors determined the order was invalid because the judge failed to schedule and give Jack McClellan proper notice of a hearing required to argue the merits of imposing such a long-lasting order before it is issued.

McClellan was released from jail Tuesday following a court hearing.

McClellan was arrested Aug. 13 on suspicion of violating the order when he was found near a child care facility at UCLA.

McClellan was arrested again for trespassing after he did an interview with the TV station on school grounds.
