Patrick sentencing delayed
July 28, 2009
Sentencing for former WJAC-TV weatherman Jay Patrick has been delayed pending a psychiatrist’s report.
The 43-year-old Patrick — whose real name is James Holcomb — pleaded no contest four years ago to sexually assaulting a then-6-year-old girl.
But before he could be sentenced, Holcomb fled overseas. He was caught in March in Kiev, Ukraine.
Holcomb is challenging a finding that he’s a “sexually violent predator,” according to the Tribune-Democrat. If the ruling stands, Holcomb would be on the state’s Megan’s Law Registry for the rest of his life.
Cambria County Judge Gerard Long has delayed the sentencing until Sept. 25.
