An Olean man who was convicted of sex crimes in both
Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties has won a court ruling to have his sex
offender risk level reduced. In 2001, now 39-year-old Kyle E. Miller was convicted
in Cattaraugus County Court of attempted sodomy and, that same year, he was
convicted in Allegany County Court for sexual abuse in the first degree. He
received a three-year prison sentence. As a registered sex offender, Allegany
County classified Miller as a Level 2 offender…which is mid-level. However,
Cattaraugus County labeled him a level three or high-risk offender. In a
two-page decision, a New York State Appellate Court found flaws with the
Cattaraugus designation and vacated the Level 3 classification. You can read the entire decision HERE.
