Kameron Lamont Jackson, 26, of Todd County, South Dakota, is facing federal prison time after being indicted for failing to register as a sex offender—a requirement tied to his 2013 convictions for Attempted Sexual Abuse of a Minor and Abusive Sexual Contact. The indictment, handed down November 14, 2018, charges Jackson with violating the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, a federal mandate designed to track offenders across state lines.
According to court records, Jackson failed to properly register as a sex offender between October 3, 2018, and November 14, 2018. As a convicted sex offender, he is legally required to maintain active registration for 25 years. His delinquency triggered a federal investigation led by the U.S. Marshals Service, culminating in the grand jury’s indictment. Jackson appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on April 26, 2019, where he entered a plea of not guilty.
If convicted, Jackson faces up to 10 years in federal prison, a fine of $250,000, five years of supervised release, and a $100 payment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. The court may also impose restitution. The charges stem from his failure to update his registration status during a critical 42-day window—time investigators say could have left minors vulnerable.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Elmore, who emphasized the seriousness of registration breaches. “This law exists to protect communities, especially children,” Elmore stated. “When offenders like Jackson vanish from the registry, they undermine a vital public safety tool.”
Following his arraignment, Jackson was remanded into the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. No trial date has been set. Federal prosecutors are preparing to present evidence showing Jackson’s awareness of his registration obligations, despite his failure to comply.
The charge is merely an accusation, and Kameron Lamont Jackson is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The investigation remains ongoing, with the U.S. Marshals continuing to monitor compliance among registered sex offenders in rural South Dakota jurisdictions.
