RENO COUNTY — A Kansas man sentenced to nearly 47 years in prison for molesting 6-year-old twin girls and for multiple drug convictions continues to seek relief from that sentence and filed a civil motion.

Curtis McCallister, 30, Hutchinson, has a Habeas Corpus motion in the child sex case scheduled for Thursday.

He was found guilty of sexually abusing two girls, both 6 years old at the time of the crimes in 2005.

The drug case is from 2007, when the Reno County Drug Unit detectives did a searched of his home and found 40 grams of marijuana in a couple of bags, digital scales, and baggies used to package the drugs.

They also found a small orange notebook with names and some numbers. They believe it was owe sheets for people he sold drugs. They referred to it as “fronting drugs.”

Inmates file the civil cases when they’ve exhausted all the other possible appeals through the appellate courts.

According to the Kansas Department of Corrections website, he’s not eligible for parole until January of 2049.
