Richard Martinez Jr., Failing to Register as Sex Offender, Idaho 2015

Local Man Faces Charges for Failing to Register as Sex Offender

A Boise man has pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender, a crime punishable by up to ten years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000.00, and five years up to lifetime supervised release.

Richard Martinez, Jr., 39, of Boise, Idaho, was indicted by a federal grand jury on August 11, 2015, for failing to register and update his registration under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA).

According to court documents, Martinez was previously convicted of possession of child pornography by the Department of the Army in July 2011. As a result of the conviction, he was required to register and update his registration under SORNA. However, after releasing from custody in February 2015, Martinez moved from a hotel in Boise, but failed to update his registration.

Boise Police Detectives arrested Martinez in Garden City, Idaho on July 8, 2015, after he admitted to moving approximately 4-6 weeks earlier and not updating his registry as required.

The case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service, the Boise Police Department, and the Idaho Department of Corrections, Bureau of Probation and Parole. Richard Martinez, Jr. was prosecuted for a violation of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) passed by Congress in 2006.

Sentencing is scheduled for May 6, 2016, before visiting U.S. District Judge Dee V. Benson.
