Dahmer Sent to Prison for Violating Probation

MADISON, Wis. —  Jeffrey L. Dahmer, who has admitted killing and dismembering 17 men and boys, was transferred Tuesday from Milwaukee County Jail to a prison when his probation in a molestation case was revoked.

Dahmer must serve the rest of a 5-year sentence for child molestation at the Columbia County prison in Portage, 40 miles north of Madison, said Michael Sullivan, deputy secretary of the state Department of Corrections.

Dahmer, 31, a former factory worker, was arrested after police found the remains of 11 dismembered bodies in his Milwaukee apartment July 22. He has since been charged with 15 counts of first-degree intentional homicide.
