Joses Ric-E Beck, Failure to Register as Sex Offender, Oklahoma 2023

A Ravia, Oklahoma man has been sentenced to 24 months in prison for failing to register as a sex offender in Indian country.

Joses Ric-E Beck, 38, was sentenced on December 20, 2023, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

The charge against Beck arose from an investigation by the United States Marshals Service and U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services.

According to the indictment, Beck was convicted of Lewd or Indecent Proposals to a Child Under Sixteen in the State of Oklahoma on August 12, 2008, and was required to register as a sex offender.

However, from August 30, 2023, until December 20, 2023, Beck failed to register and update his registration despite entering, leaving, or residing in Indian country, within the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

The Honorable John F. Heil, III, U.S. District Judge, presided over the hearing. Beck will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve a non-paroleable sentence of incarceration.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Morgan Muzljakovich and Nicole Paladino represented the United States in the case.

Beck's failure to register as a sex offender is a serious offense that puts communities at risk. Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors will continue to work together to ensure that those who fail to register are held accountable.
