A man convicted of climbing into a 17-year-old girl's bedroom and taking off all his clothes has been kicked out of his sex-offender treatment program, but will get a second chance after spending some time in jail.

Thanks in part to a plea from his victim's mother, Barth was able to avoid prison and was sentenced instead to the treatment center after spending time in jail. But he has been back in jail for about two weeks after getting kicked out of the Freemont Center for "acting out sexually," Laycock said at Wednesday's hearing. Barth will get a second chance at Freemont when he gets out of the Utah County Jail, but Laycock said that he may face prison time if he is kicked out again.

"They will have zero tolerance for any kind of acting out sexually a second time," Laycock said.

Barth admitted that he failed to complete the treatment program at Freemont. Laycock said the original sentence that she gave Barth was generous, and told him he was lucky to get a second chance.

"Be very, very careful. I'd like to see you succeed, Mr. Barth," she said. "Don't disappoint us."

Barth pleaded no contest last year to attempted unlawful sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year-old. He was originally charged with attempted rape after he climbed into a 17-year-old girl's bedroom, stripped naked and got into her bed while she slept. He also pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated burglary and possession of a controlled substance.
