A North Dakota man has been charged with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, a federal crime with severe consequences.
John James Moran, 49, was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 4, 2021, for allegedly failing to register as a sex offender between August 17, 2020, and May 4, 2021. Moran, a Bismarck resident, had previously been convicted of a sex crime and was required to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in federal prison and/or a $250,000 fine, in addition to life of supervised release and $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered if Moran is found guilty.
Moran appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy on June 3, 2021, and pled not guilty to the Indictment. He was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending trial.
The investigation into Moran’s actions is being conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey C. Clapper prosecuting the case.
The charge is merely an accusation, and Moran is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. A trial date has not been set.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of sex offender registration and the consequences of failing to comply with the law.
