Joseph Scanio, 69, has made his last legal visit to the South Lake Tahoe Ice Arena.

Part of the deal Scanio agreed to when he pleaded no contest Thursday to not complying with the city’s sex offender law was to not visit the entire city recreation complex or nearby library.

In an unsolicited guest column Scanio sent to Lake Tahoe News in May he took no responsibility for the actions that led to him being sentenced Aug. 4 to three years probation.

Scanio’s disregard for the law goes well beyond the recent infractions. He spent time in prison after pleading guilty in October 2006 to possession of child pornography.

The federal investigation into whether he violated parole is ongoing.
