A 29-year-old Wisconsin man has been handed down a significant punishment for his failure to register as a sex offender in South Dakota. James Nault-Hart was sentenced to 26 months in custody, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Nault-Hart, a Baraboo, Wisconsin native, was convicted of failing to register as a sex offender as required by federal law between September 12, 2016, and October 5, 2016. This conviction stems from a previous sex offense conviction in Sault County, Wisconsin.
According to court records, Nault-Hart had absconded from parole supervision and moved to South Dakota, where he was required to register as a sex offender. However, he failed to do so, putting himself and the community at risk.
The U.S. Marshals Service investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case. U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange handed down the sentence on October 2, 2017.
Nault-Hart was immediately taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service after the sentence was handed down. His failure to register as a sex offender is a serious offense that requires strict consequences.
Sex offender registration is a critical component of public safety, ensuring that individuals who have committed sex offenses are held accountable and monitored. Nault-Hart’s failure to register not only put the community at risk but also demonstrated a blatant disregard for the law.
The investigation and prosecution of cases like Nault-Hart’s serve as a reminder of the importance of strict enforcement of sex offender registration laws. Grimy Times will continue to follow this case and provide updates on any future developments.
