Fed: William Soltan Fails to Register as a Sex Offender
A former New Hampshire resident has landed in hot water for his failure to comply with the federal Sexual Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). William Soltan, a 34-year-old Suffolk County, New York, resident, pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to 12 months and one day in federal prison.
According to documents and court statements, Soltan left New Hampshire sometime after July 2014 for a temporary visit to New York. However, he did not return to New Hampshire as obligated and failed to register in both New Hampshire and New York in 2015.
Under SORNA, individuals required to register must do so in each jurisdiction where they reside, are employed, or attend school. Soltan was given three days to comply with the registration requirement, but he failed to do so.
Soltan was previously convicted and pleaded guilty to the charge. In addition to his prison sentence, he was also ordered to serve five years of supervised release upon his release from prison.
The case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service, with assistance from the Manchester Police Department, the New Hampshire Department of Corrections, the New Hampshire State Police, and the Suffolk County, New York, Police Department.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Donald Feith. Soltan’s failure to register as a sex offender has resulted in his imprisonment and additional supervised release. This serves as a reminder of the importance of complying with registration requirements under SORNA.
The sentence handed down to Soltan demonstrates the federal government’s commitment to enforcing the laws related to sex offenders and ensuring public safety. The case highlights the need for individuals to comply with registration requirements and the consequences of failing to do so.
