Factors (excerpts):

the nature and circumstances of the offense and the history and characteristics of the defendant

.
the need to provide restitution to any victims of the offense

UPDATE AUGUST 9, 2016
.
In tonight’s performance Kent almost told us something about his efforts to get out of Supervised Release early, but he caught him self and stopped before revealing any actual details about his effort to get out early. He wound up just asking folks for prayers.

UPDATE AUGUST 23, 2016 & SEPTEMBER 6, 2016
.
Kent claims in an August 23, 2016 broadcast that he applied for his early release from Supervised Release. However, as of September 11, 2016 I have been unable to find any record of any such application; which I believe is done through a motion to the court which would be public record.

“the need to provide restitution to any victims of the offense”…seeing as Hovind is “retired” and most likely not paying the back taxes and fines he’s accrued, I don’t see an early release in his future…
Yes, there are a lot of details that Kent never seems to address in his public performances; which is all we get to see. He and his people also don’t write about them.
Will the Court be sympathetic to Kent if he continues to maintain his innocence in the face of the clear and convincing, beyond a reasonable doubt, evidence against him? Maybe the Court will order a psychiatric evaluation before deciding if Kent maintains his innocence.
What about Kent’s $500 a month payment that was required before his personal income tax liabilities were decided? Has Kent been making those payments.
What about Kent’s use of nominees to evade payments and still begin raising the millions for his playground and retirement home?
Will Kent really cause these matters to become public by filing a formal request with the Court?
I hope so.
I would really like to see where it goes.
