HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 31-year-old Burrton man convicted of charges of indecent solicitation of a child and furnishing alcohol to a minor for illicit purposes is scheduled for a parole hearing in October with a public comment period next month.

John Scazzafavo was convicted and sentenced for furnishing alcohol to a 15-year-old girl at her older sister’s home here in Hutchinson back on Nov. 7, 2008. The state says he served those drinks in an attempt to get the young girl to have sexual relations, or at the very least, allow him to touch her in an inappropriate way.

He admitted that he went on a three-month drinking binge because of personal problems, but again denies the allegations.

He was originally granted community corrections in this case, but apparently violated the corrections and was ordered to serve the sentence.

He will go before the parole board in October for possible parole in November.
