VALPARAISO | Just a few weeks after spending six months behind bars for sexual assault, former Hebron official and former Lake County Deputy Prosecutor Michael Haughee is once again a wanted man.

Porter Circuit Court Judge Mary Harper signed an arrest warrant this week for Haughee based on accusations he has already violated the terms of his probation by failing to register as a sex offender or show up for treatment.

Haughee could not be reached Tuesday for comment and was not yet in custody at the county jail by midday.

When Haughee, a suspended attorney, was released from the Porter County Jail earlier this month, he was transported to Lake County to face a felony charge of stealing money from one of his law clients, said Neil Hannon, chief of Porter County Adult Probation.

After bonding out of jail in Lake County, Haughee decided to live in Dyer, but failed to register there as a sex offender, Hannon said.

He then decided to move south to Tell City, Ind., but needed permission from the court, Hannon said. Haughee is accused of changing his cell phone number, failing to provide the new number to his probation officer and moving to Tell City without the necessary permission.

Hannon said his department tracked Haughee down and met with him for two hours to explain his obligations.

Haughee is accused of failing to register as a sex offender both in Lake County and in Tell City, and of failing to register with the Project PRO sex offender treatment and monitoring program.

Hannon said Tuesday he had no idea where Haughee was living.

A jury found Haughee guilty in January on felony counts of sexual battery and criminal confinement and a misdemeanor count of interference with the reporting of a crime.

A disabled Hebron woman said Haughee showed up at her apartment Feb. 18, 2006, and forced a kiss on her, began groping her chest and prevented her from using her telephone to call for help.

Harper sentenced Haughee to one year in jail, which was completed in half that time with good behavior. He is to spend a year on formal probation, register for 10 years as a sex offender and undergo HIV testing, sex offender treatment and a mental health evaluation.
