Rapid City Man Sentenced for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender

 Acting United States Attorney Dennis R. Holmes announced that a Rapid City, South Dakota, man convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender was sentenced on August 23, 2021, by Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange, U.S. District Court.

Kameron Lamont Jackson, age 29, was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Jackson was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 9, 2021.  He pled guilty on June 3, 2021.

The conviction stemmed from an incident that occurred between December 12, 2020, and March 9, 2021, in Rapid City.  Jackson, a person required to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, and a sex offender by reason of conviction under Federal Law, knowingly failed to properly register as a sex offender and update his registration when he changed his place of residence.

 This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Rapid City Police Department.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron J. Cook prosecuted the case.

Jackson was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
