Jason Burnash, Sex Offender Registration Violation, New York 2023

A 43-year-old Albany man has been sentenced to a total of 28 months in prison for failing to update his sex offender registration information and violating his conditions of federal supervised release.

Jason Burnash, a resident of Albany, New York, was sentenced on an unspecified date to serve 18 months in prison for violating his supervised release conditions and an additional 10 months for the new criminal conduct.

Burnash was required to register as a sex offender because of his prior federal conviction in 2012 for receiving child pornography. According to court documents, he failed to advise the sex offender registry of a change in his residential address between December 24, 2022 and March 1, 2023.

United States District Judge Anne M. Nardacci ordered Burnash to serve the 28 months in prison and imposed a 5-year term of supervised release, which will start after Burnash is released from prison. Burnash will again have to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison.

The United States Marshals Service investigated this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Belliss prosecuted the case as part of Project Safe Childhood, a federal initiative to combat child exploitation and abuse.

Burnash’s crimes are a serious violation of the public trust and a reminder of the importance of registering as a sex offender and adhering to the terms of supervised release. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
