Singaporean Amos Yee's parole from US jail delayed after he violated terms of release
Amos Yee, a convicted child sex offender in the US, has had his parole delayed after he violated terms of release, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC).
A search of IDOC's website shows that he will be jailed for another six months with his parole date set for Nov 7, 2025, while his projected discharge date has been set at three years to life, with duration to be determined.
The 26-year-old Singaporean was originally scheduled for release on April 24.
Under Illinois state law, his parole will end with the projected discharge date, meaning that Yee could potentially be under US supervision for the rest of his life.
«Amos Yee is not eligible to resume mandatory supervised release until Nov 7, 2025, due to the Prisoner Review Board determining he violated the terms of his release,» a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Corrections told The Straits Times.
He is currently in custody at the Danville Correctional Centre in Illinois.
