Thomas J. Redeker, Sex Offender Registration Failure, New York 2024

SYRACUSE, NEW YORK – A 73-year-old Endicott man was sentenced to 10 months in prison for failing to update his sex offender registration.

Thomas J. Redeker, of Endicott, New York, was sentenced to 10 months in prison, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release, for failing to update his sex offender registration by maintaining unregistered email accounts.

The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Antoinette T. Bacon and United States Marshal David L. McNulty.

Redeker was also ordered to pay a $2,000 fine.

In addition to the term of imprisonment for failing to update his sex offender registration, Redeker was sentenced to an 8-month consecutive term of imprisonment for violating the conditions of his supervised release by committing new criminal conduct, failing to answer truthfully questions from his probation officer, and possessing an undisclosed internet capable device.

As part of his previously entered plea agreement, Redeker admitted that in 2004 he was convicted in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York of production of child pornography and crossing a state line to engage in a sexual act with a person under the age of 12.

Those convictions required Redeker to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, and to keep that registration current with personal identifying information, including email accounts.

This case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service Sex Offender Investigation Branch with assistance from the United States Probation Office for the Northern District of New York, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael D. Gadarian.

This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse.
