A judge in Cortlandt ruled today that bail for Robert McCain will not change, meaning he will remain behind bars.
McCain was convicted in 1981 of murdering a teenage girl in Pearl River.
Earlier this month, while out on parole, he was charged with forcibly touching a woman at a dog park in Cortlandt.
The judge said he made the decision to keep McCain’s bail the same after hearing the state wanted him jailed for a parole violation.
McCain says he is innocent of the new charge.
