Kyle Marks, Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, South Dakota 2013

Kyle Marks, a 29-year-old man from Fort Thompson, South Dakota, was sentenced to 24 months of imprisonment for failing to register as a sex offender. The sentence was handed down on September 24, 2013, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Marks was convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, a charge that stems from an incident in which he failed to register from May 2013 to June 11, 2013. He had initially been convicted in federal court in 2004 of abusive sexual contact with a child and was sentenced to prison, as well as being required to register as a sex offender.

After release from prison on his underlying charge, he had violations of his court-ordered supervision, and remained under the Court's supervision until this year. While placed at a treatment facility in Rapid City to help him successfully re-integrate into society, Marks absconded in May 2013, and failed to properly maintain his sex offender registry requirements.

Marks fled from authorities until he was apprehended on July 16, 2013. This is his second conviction for failing to register as a sex offender.

The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges prosecuted the case.

Marks was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. He was also ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.

Marks' sentence includes 24 months of imprisonment, 5 years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. He was 29 years old at the time of sentencing and had been indicted by a federal grand jury on June 12, 2013. He had pled guilty on September 9, 2013.
