I enjoyed JonÂ’s show during his radio years, but am revolted by the sordid activities in which he engages and the disgusting conduct to which he has admitted. Hopefully he will be locked away from society soon.

A court hearing to determine if probation will be revoked for former radio talk show host Jon Matthews was rescheduled for next month.

Matthews, 61, appeared in a Fort Bend County court room today where prosecutors had planned to ask state District Judge Brady Elliott to revoke his probation and sentence him to prison.

However, Lee Cox, the attorney for Matthews, asked the judge to reschedule the hearing. Elliott reset the case for Feb. 9.

"There are some things I am investigating and I need more time to prepare," Cox said after the hearing which lasted only a few seconds.

The state alleges that Matthews violated several terms of the probation he received two years ago after he pleaded guilty to exposing himself to an 11-year-old girl.

Matthews, a fixture on Houston's radio scene for almost two decades, was jailed in August after prosecutors filed a motion to revoke the probation and send him to prison. He was later released on bail.

Court records show Matthews violated several probation conditions the court set in 2004 when he entered his plea on the charge that stemmed from the October 2003 incident.

I’ll refrain from reprinting the illegal &/or immoral conduct in which he has engaged in violation of his probation (which I do not believe he should have received to begin with). It is simply too depraved for belief. Indeed, Matthews has made himself a “poster child” (forgive the term) for why those convicted of sex crimes with minors should be shown no leniency whatsoever.
