On May 15, 2018, Baker County Circuit Court Judge Greg Baxter sentenced Antoine Johannes Mulder (dob 11/49) of Bridge St., Baker City, Oregon to three years in prison. Mulder was sentenced following a probation violation hearing in which his probation on an Attempted Sexual Abuse in the First Degree charge was revoked. Mulder pled guilty to the Attempted Sexual Abuse charge on January 11, 2017 in Circuit Court. Mulder was sentenced to five years of formal probation and was required to complete a sex offender treatment program on the original charge. As part of his probation Mulder stipulated that if his probation was ever revoked he would receive three years in prison with no good-time or credit for time served.

 

Mulder was found in violation of his probation in the May 15, 2018 probation hearing based on evidence that he had unsupervised contact with a minor child in violation of the terms of his probation. Mulder was originally allowed to plead to a suspended prison sentence based on the child victim in the case being unable to proceed to trial based on trauma and other psychological issues that would have made testifying in trial potentially damaging to her.

 

Mulder was also found to have violated his probation for failing to immediately notify his probation officer that he had received at shoplifting citation from Ace Hardware in Baker City on November 20, 2017. Mulder will be on post-prison supervision following his prison sentence for two years.
