Sex Offender Fails to Register in Florida, Receives 5-Year Prison Sentence

A sex offender has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for failing to register as required by law. John Francis Bolieau, 44, of Massachusetts, was convicted of aggravated rape and abuse of a child, indecent assault and battery of a child under 14, and indecent assault and battery on a person over 14 in Hampshire County, Massachusetts in 2013.

Bolieau was sentenced to 10 to 12 years in prison and 10 years of probation for these offenses. He was also required to register as a sex offender under the federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act. However, after being released from prison in July 2021 and placed on probation, Bolieau cut off his ankle monitor, left Massachusetts, and came to the Miami-area without notifying his probation officer or updating his sex offender registration.

On December 15, 2021, law enforcement located and arrested Bolieau in a recreational vehicle park in Highlands County, Florida. During the arrest, Bolieau admitted that he had not reported to any law enforcement officer that he was in Florida, nor did he register as a sex offender in the State of Florida as required by law.

U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon imposed the sentence of 60 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release. The U.S. Marshals Service investigated the case, with the assistance of the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Luisa Berti and Stacey Bergstrom prosecuted the case.

The failure to register as a sex offender is a serious offense, and those who commit this crime will be held accountable. Bolieau’s sentence serves as a reminder of the importance of following the law and registering as required.

The case is U.S. v. John Francis Bolieau, Case No. 22-cr-14002. Related court documents and information may be found on the website of the District Court for the Southern District of Florida at www.flsd.uscourts.gov or at http://pacer.flsd.uscourts.gov.
