A twice-convicted sex offender was recently sentenced to state prison for breaking parole conditions by failing to attend and complete treatment.

Robert M. Flerx, 26, was sentenced in Lancaster County Court to 2½ to 5 years in prison for the numerous parole/probation violations regarding convictions in 2016 and 2018.

Assistant District Attorney Fritz Haverstick said Flerx has shown a desire to have sexual contact with children – even post-conviction.

As part of sex-offender conditions attached by court order to applicable convictions, offenders are required to attend and successfully complete treatment/counseling.

Flerx has failed to do that, being kicked out of at least one program, according to ADA Haverstick.

Lancaster County Judge Howard Knisely ordered the sentence.

ADA Haverstick prosecuted Flex in 2016 for indecent assault and corruption of minors. Flerx exposed himself to a 7-year-old child.

Flerx was convicted in 2018 of having sexual contact with a 15-year-old child. He was sentenced to one to two years in prison for statutory sexual assault and corruption of minors.
