Charleroi Sex Offender Fails to Register, Indicted

PITTSBURGH, Pa. – In a stunning turn of events, Kerry McFeely, 53, from Charleroi, Pennsylvania, faces federal charges after he was indicted for failing to register as a sex offender. This flagrant disregard for the law has landed him in hot water with the United States Attorney David J. Hickton.

The grand jury’s one-count indictment came down on May 23 and was unsealed yesterday, implicating McFeely, who is now standing trial for his actions. According to the charges, McFeely was legally required to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act after being convicted of Sexual Assault of a Minor Under the Age of 16 in Vermont Superior Court, Chitteden Criminal Division back in 1993.

The allegations are severe; they claim that from April 2011 to May 23, 2013, McFeely traveled across state lines while knowing full well that he was supposed to update his registration. This brazen move could cost him up to a decade behind bars and a hefty fine of $250,000.

Assistant United States Attorney Amy L. Johnston is spearheading the prosecution against McFeely, ensuring that justice is served on behalf of the United States. The investigation leading to this indictment was conducted by none other than the United States Marshals Service, showcasing the gravity of the offense and the determination to bring violators to justice.

It’s important to note that an indictment is merely an accusation. McFeely is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. As the case unfolds, the community awaits the outcome with bated breath.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act and its role in protecting the public from such predators. The legal system is working to ensure that those who ignore their obligations face the consequences of their actions.
