“I don’t know what happened behind closed doors … I just remember saying I did not want to be anywhere near any of this.”Īccording to Kline these charges were never brought to the attention of Judge Keith Levy when he first sentenced Myers in game hunting violations and a probation violation. “It was done so I wouldn’t have to testify,” Kline said of the plea bargain. However, the plea agreement contains no findings of guilt on those accusations. The initial criminal complaint filed by police in Pennsylvania against Myers alleged he and an adult female played strip poker with Kline and another person when she was less than 16 years old, and also states that he touched her breast and pelvic area without her consent. Kline: ‘It was done so I wouldn’t have to testify’ “I do know that if prosecutors are aware of criminal history they will inform the court.” “As far as what the district attorney knew at the time, I do not know,” current District Attorney Dave Brower said.

Juneau District Court Judge Keith Levy filed an order Tuesday expressing concern that Myers’ attorney submitted to the court a sentencing memorandum in November 2010 claiming Myers “has no criminal history” and should be sentenced as “a first offender” during Myers’ big game hunting violations trial.Ĭourt documents in Pennsylvania reveal Myers entered into a plea agreement in 2000 when he pleaded guilty to one count each of corruption of a minor and furnishing liquor to minors. “I have followed this story from Pennsylvania and have struggled with it the entire time,” Kline said. Kline feared that Myers might return to the state of Pennsylvania where she still lives, where Myers pleaded guilty to charges of corruption of and furnishing liquor to a minor that minor was Kline.
