Ricky Jason Bedlingon, 43, was sentenced to three years of probation and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Bedlington was convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, a charge stemming from his failure to register as required by federal law between May 28, 2021, and May 31, 2021.
