Adrian Spotted Horse, Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, South Dakota 2015

A 36-year-old man from Wakpala, South Dakota, has been sentenced to 15 months in custody for failing to register as a sex offender.

Adrian Spotted Horse, a Wakpala resident, was sentenced on June 22, 2015 by U.S. District Judge Charles B. Kornmann.

Spotted Horse was convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender after he failed to register between August 26, 2014 and November 17, 2014, as required by federal law.

Spotted Horse was previously convicted of a sex offense in federal court, which requires him to register as a sex offender for 15 years starting in 2014.

The conviction stems from Spotted Horse's failure to comply with federal law, which mandates sex offenders to register their information with the authorities.

Spotted Horse was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service after the sentencing.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy R. Morley.

Spotted Horse was also ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

He will serve 5 years of supervised release following his 15-month sentence.
