While serving as a state lawmaker for eight years, Ted Klaudt preached morals. He also voted in favor of bills regarding tougher laws for sex offenders, including the implementation of the state’s online sex offender registry.
On Friday, after Judge James Anderson hands down the sentence for Klaudt’s most immoral crimes, he will most likely register on that sex offender list and head to prison for a significant amount of time.
. . .
But prison can be especially tough for sex offenders, and that could play a role in which unit Klaudt will be housed.
“He’ll come into this Jameson Annex, and he’ll be processed where we started down the hallway, and he’ll end up in one of these cells for about 15 days while he goes through a battery of tests and we determine what the most appropriate placement is for him,” Weber said.
Klaudt carries with him some big notoriety, and he’s also a big man, which Weber says the prison is also ready to handle.
. . .
But Klaudt most likely will not get his own cell. He’ll have a roommate, and despite his past, will be treated just like any other inmate in the South Dakota State Penitentiary.
. . .
Klaudt will be sentenced a second time next week for witness tampering, so he could end up with a total of 120 years in prison.
