FARMINGTON --A former Clearfield man will be arraigned Tuesday on charges of having unlawful sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl. Thomas Paul Hines, 21, was arrested at an Ogden halfway house, where he was living on Dec. 11 and booked into the Davis County Jail. Hines was still on probation for attempted sexual abuse to which he pleaded guilty. He now faces three third-degree felony counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

In December 2005, he was sentenced to 90 days in the Davis County Jail and 36 months probation on the charge. Hines was placed on the Sex Offender Registry and a five-year prison sentence was suspended.

He served 79 days of his sentence. But in July, he went back to jail to serve 127 of a 180-day sentence for parole violations, which included failure to participate in sex offender therapy, consuming alcohol and failing to pay court fees, according to court documents.
