Richard Molina, 42, of Garden City, was released from jail on November 22 after a Finney County Attorney's Office misfiled court documents delaying his sex offender registration case. Less than a week later he was jailed again on allegations including attempted rape. County Attorney John Wheeler cited a paperwork delay and a Thanksgiving break as the cause, prompting calls for stronger safeguards to prevent repeat errors and protect public safety.
