Eagle Butte Man Sentenced for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender

United States Attorney Randolph J. Seiler announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota, man convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender was sentenced on April 24, 2017, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Charles Moran, age 39, was sentenced to 20 months in custody, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Moran was indicted by a federal grand jury on November 16, 2016. He pled guilty on December 19, 2016.

The conviction stems from Moran failing to register as a sex offender as required by federal law between August 1, 2016, and August 31, 2016. Moran had previously been convicted of a sex offense in federal court, which requires him to register as a sex offender.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case.

Moran was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
