(Stillwater, Okla.) — A convicted child molester has been given a 15-year prison term for sexual battery of an 82-year-old woman in her front yard on South Main Street in Stillwater, as part of a plea bargain with the prosecution approved in court by District Judge Phillip Corley last week.
Kwamain Quantay Baker, 28, of Stillwater, who previously lived in Cushing and Wichita, was given a concurrent five-year prison term for violating the Sex Offender Registration Act.
Baker had earlier been given a concurrent prison term of about eight years for violating his probation in his 2017 child molesting case.
His court-appointed defense attorney Jodie Gage told the judge in court Friday, “I believe Mr. Baker is legally competent.”
Baker has been in jail since his arrest last summer by Stillwater Police Sgt. Kyle Bruce, who located him at a nearby convenience store and arrested him for failure to register as a sex offender.
About 20 minutes earlier, on Aug. 16, 2018, an 82-year-old woman told police she was tending to her dog leashed to her porch when she was approached by a tall man in his 20s, who “engaged her in casual conversation that shortly turned distasteful,” Detective Sherae LeJeune wrote in an affidavit.
After Baker fondled her, the woman pushed him away and shouted at him to leave her alone, the affidavit said.
At the time, Baker was already on nine years of probation for molesting a 15-year-old girl in Stillwater on Feb. 21, 2017, court records show.
After completing a one-year jail term for child molestation, Baker was supposed to have mental health treatment until released by his provider, register as a sex offender for life, and pay his incarceration cost, court records show.
