Robert McCain, 64, was paroled in 2021 after spending four decades in prison for the 1980 murder of a teenager. Recently, he was arrested for allegedly groping a woman in an upper Westchester County dog park. Lawmakers expressed outrage, particularly Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, who accused the Parole Board of prioritizing criminal leniency over community safety. McCain has now been charged with forcible touching and is held on $25,000 bail, pending a parole revocation hearing due to a new warrant issued against him.
