Lynchburg Man Sentenced for Failing to Register as Sex Offender

LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA – A Lynchburg man, who previously pled guilty to failing to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act [SORNA], was sentenced today in Federal Court after he failed to keep his registration up-to-date, United States Attorney John P. Fishwick Jr. announced today.
