Violent Sex Offender Sentenced

A Lake James man who pleaded guilty on Mon­day to three cases in Steuben Supe­rior Court, learned that he will be spend­ing the next 4 1/2 years behind bars. 29-year-old Danny Lee Rhudy was handed three-18 month con­sec­u­tive sen­tences on three felony counts includ­ing two counts for fail­ing to reg­is­ter as a sex or vio­lent offender. His other guilty plea cen­tered around charges related to resist­ing law enforce­ment. As part of the plea deal that was worked out, two other cases against Rhudy were dis­missed. At the end of the day though, Rhudy did get a tiny bit of good news… he was given credit for 84 days already served. But although he had asked to serve his time in Com­mu­nity Cor­rec­tions, he was denied that request.
