Christian J. Morales, Failing to Register as Sex Offender, Rhode Island 2010

Sex Offender Jailed for 65 Months for Failing to Register

Christian J. Morales, a 30-year-old convicted sex offender, has been sentenced to 65 months in federal prison for failing to register as a sex offender for the third time, announced United States Attorney Peter F. Neronha and United States Marshall Jamie A. Hainsworth.

Morales, who was convicted in Rhode Island state court in December 2006 on two counts of child molestation, has a lifetime duty to register as a sex offender under the federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA).

Morales was arrested and charged in November 2008 and in June 2010 with failing to register as a sex offender after changing addresses in Woonsocket and Pawtucket. He was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender for the third time on July 1, 2010, after Woonsocket Police became aware that Morales was no longer living at a Woonsocket address where he was registered.

Morales was located in a Blackstone, Mass., apartment where he was living with his girlfriend and her 4-year-old child, and was arrested by members of the U.S. Marshals Service, R.I. State Police, Woonsocket Police and Mass. State Police.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Rogers.

Morales’ sentence was imposed by U.S. District Court Judge William E. Smith. According to court information, Morales was required to register and keep his registration current in each jurisdiction in which he resided, worked, or went to school, and to make periodic in-person appearances to verify and update his registration information.
