The parole board has directed Hoyte to follow a list of special conditions, including no contact with the victim. He’s also directed to follow a treatment plan for sexual deviancy that his parole supervisor will arrange.
Hoyte, 74, has been serving a three-year sentence after pleading guilty to 28 counts of sexual assault in January 2020.
He now faces a new round of charges and is scheduled to stand trial in early 2023. He is accused of 32 offences, including more than two dozen sexual assault charges and one count of sexual exploitation.
