HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 30-year-old man sentenced to nearly 47 years in prison for molesting 6-year-old twin girls and for multiple drug convictions is seeking relief from all that by filing a civil motion.
Curtis McCallister has a habeas corpus motion pending in front of Judge Trish Rose where he is seeking relief from those convictions and sentence.
In the child sex case, McCallister was found guilty of sexually abusing two girls, both 6 years old at the time. The abuse took place between May 31, 2005, and June 27, 2005.
The drug case goes back to March 31, 2007, when Reno County Drug Unit detectives did a search of his home in the 1400 block of Prairie. They found 40 grams of marijuana in a couple of bags, digital scales, and baggies used to package the drugs. They also found a small orange notebook with names and some numbers. They believe it was owe sheets for people he sold drugs to. They referred to it as “fronting drugs.”
Inmates file the civil cases when they’ve exhausted all the other possible appeals through the appellate courts.
According to the Kansas Department of Corrections website, he’s not eligible for parole until January of 2049.
There is a hearing scheduled on this civil motion Thursday in front of Judge Trish Rose.
