A sex offender from Waterloo who was scheduled to soon be released from prison will be kept longer to receive more treatment, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. 33 year old Jaleel Todd was serving time for groping a sleeping teen at a house party in 2018. He was actually scheduled to be released from prison last year but the Iowa Attorney General’s office stepped in and ordered he be kept behind bars citing his sexual abuse of a 9 year old when he was 15 and several sexual themed novels he wrote and saved on a prison computer drive. He also had made business plans for when he got out of prison for a made-to-order lingerie photo service for inmates and a festival called Twerk Fest. A forensic psychologist found that Todd was four times more likely than other sex offenders to reoffend. The court ruled that Todd has a mental abnormality that makes him likely to commit future sex crimes and will be held and treated until that mental abnormality has changed. He will be held at the Cherokee Mental Health Institute.
