Jeremy Jeunesse, 34, appeared before Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken in U.S. District Court on September 5, 2013, and pleaded guilty to Failure to Register as a Sex Offender.
The maximum penalty upon conviction is 10 years of imprisonment and a $250,000 fine, U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced.
The charge stems from Jeunesse’s failure to register as a convicted sex offender in Pennington County on September 1, 2012.
An investigation was conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service, which led to Jeunesse’s guilty plea.
A presentence investigation has been ordered, and a sentencing date will be set at a later time.
Jeunesse was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending sentencing.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of registration requirements for convicted sex offenders.
