BISMARCK (AP) — A Bismarck man has been sentenced to serve three years in prison for a sex offense authorities say he committed while living in a house rented by the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
The house is for convicted sex offenders with nowhere else to live.
Twenty-four-year-old Geoffrey Miller was arrested after a probation officer found a 17-year-old girl at the home during a random check. Authorities say Miller had sex with the girl.
Corrections leased the house in December 2007 for one year to serve as temporary housing for sex offenders with nowhere else to go. The offenders sublease it at a daily rate.
Corrections is not renewing the lease, though the department says it plans to find other ways of helping homeless sex offenders.
