The Seattle Times has a story this morning about the sentencing of Robert Jesse “Traveller” Hill for his attempts to contact a porn actress set to appear at a strip club opening last April.

Hill was chased away from the club but, according to the Times account based on charging papers, found the actress and her husband at their hotel.

Citing Hill’s lengthy mental-health history, Assistant City Attorney Melissa A. Chin wrote in sentencing paperwork that Seattle officials were “concerned about his sexual deviancy.” In the same paperwork, Chin called Hill “a menace to society” in asking the judge for an exceptional sentence of two years.

Municipal Court Judge Judith Hightower sentenced Hill to 364 days in jail with 244 days suspended on the condition that he not break the law for two years.

“It’s really important you get a message.” Hightower said. “And the message is that when somebody says ‘go away, I’m not interested,’ you go away and not bother them.”

Yeah, good luck with that your honor.
