Bangor, Maine – In a shocking case of failure to register as a sex offender, Bradley Flowers, 40, formerly of Palmyra, Maine, pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court for failing to register as a sex offender.
The crime began with a 2006 Maine conviction for unlawful sexual contact, requiring Flowers to register as a sex offender for life. Between July 2007 and June 2014, Flowers registered with the Maine Sex Offender Registry, as required.
However, in about September 2014, Flowers moved to Colorado, but did not register in Colorado. Thereafter, he lived in Ohio and Arizona, but did not register there, or in any other state.
On October 20, 2015, Flowers was arrested in Arizona and has been in custody since that time.
U.S. Attorney Halsey B. Frank announced the guilty plea and sentencing. Flowers was sentenced by Judge John A. Woodcock, Jr. to time served (about 28 months) plus 30 days, and 5 years of supervised release, the first six months of which will be in community confinement.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Maine Violent Offender Task Force and brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006.
The case against Flowers serves as a stark reminder of the importance of sex offender registration and the consequences of failing to comply with registration requirements.
