The man convicted in the 1980 murder of a Rockland County teenager is headed back to prison after repeatedly violating his parole.
Robert McCain served 40 years in prison for the killing of 16-year-old Paula Bohovesky in Pearl River before being released on parole five years ago.
Since his release, officials say McCain has violated parole three times.
Last year, McCain pleaded guilty to forcible touching stemming from an incident at a park in Cortlandt.
A few months later, authorities say he admitted to petit larceny in Peekskill.
As a result, McCain will spend another 10 months behind bars.
His current release date is May 1.
Rockland County Executive Ed Day criticized the prospect of McCain's eventual release.
In a statement, Day said McCain "should never be released" and called him "a clear and present danger to our community, and public safety."
