A Cedar City man whose light sentencing in a 2017 child sex abuse case sparked community outrage appeared in court Tuesday, where he was sentenced to prison after violating the terms of his probation while living in Indiana.
John Benjamin Gehrich, 21, appeared in 5th District Court to be sentenced for violating the terms of probation stemming from his September 2017 conviction on three second-degree felony counts of sex abuse of a child. The prison term was suspended at that point, and instead Gehrich was placed on probation, which he admittedly violated when he failed to properly register as a sex offender while living in Indiana, as well as violating other conditions of his probation.

Indiana has at least one county where probation doesn't do home checks of sex offenders. I wonder how many other states have the same issue. Secondly, that sure is a hell of a long time before notifying the court in Utah.
