Menomonie (WQOW) - An area man who was ordered locked up indefinitely as a sexually violent person, will get a new trial.

Montgomery Clark, from Menomonie, was convicted of breaking into a woman's home and sexually assaulting her. That happened in 2003.

Clark was scheduled to get out of prison in 2008, but a jury found that he suffers from a mental condition that makes it likely for him to re-offend. Clark was ordered to be held indefinitely.

But this week the state court of appeals granted Clark a new trial on whether he should continue to be held. The court found the presiding judge made several errors during the trial.
