FARGO, North Dakota – In a shocking case of deception, Jared Holland, 28, of Fargo, N.D., was sentenced for failing to register as a sex offender. This egregious crime has left many in the community reeling.
According to court records, on March 31, 2012, officers from the Fargo Police Department were dispatched to Holland’s residence in South Fargo on a domestic complaint. Following an investigation, law enforcement discovered that Holland was a convicted sex offender, having been convicted of second degree rape in Brown County, South Dakota, on September 23, 2003.
Holland, a Tier III sex offender, and his wife had moved to Fargo to operate Exclusive Tan, a tanning salon located in the Eagle Run Plaza in West Fargo. However, Holland failed to notify authorities of this employment, which he is required to do as a registered sex offender.
On August 28, 2013, U.S. Attorney Timothy Q. Purdon announced that Jared Holland was sentenced before U.S. District Judge Ralph R. Erickson for failing to register as a sex offender. Holland pleaded guilty to the charge on April 1, 2013.
As a result of his crimes, Holland was sentenced to seven months and 15 days in prison, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release with a condition that he be placed in home confinement for a period of seven months. Additionally, Holland was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Crime Victims Fund.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and the West Fargo Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Klemetsrud Puhl prosecuted the case.
This is a stark reminder of the importance of registration and compliance for convicted sex offenders. We will continue to hold accountable those who fail to meet their obligations.
