For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of West Virginia

WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA – Weirton, West Virginia resident Henry Lee Cutler, 24, originally of Clearfield, Pennsylvania, was sentenced today to 27 months in prison for failing to update his sex offender registration, United States Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld, II, announced.

In 2010, Cutler was convicted of “Indecent Assault” in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. As a result of that conviction, he is required to register as a sex offender. In late 2014 or early 2015, Cutler relocated across state lines from Pennsylvania to the Weirton, West Virginia area. He failed to update his sex offender registration to reflect his new residence in West Virginia.  He pled guilty in June 2015 to one count of “Failure to Register as a Sex Offender.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jarod Douglas prosecuted the case on behalf of the government. The United States Marshals Service investigated.

U.S. District Judge John Preston Bailey presided.
