United States v. Jones, No. 14-2787 (7th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseIn 1988 Jones pled guilty to three counts of attempted sexual battery (the victim was a child) and was sentenced to 12 years in prison plus 10 years of probation. Jones was released from prison in 1994, with a lifelong obligation under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), 42 U.S.C. 16913 and 16915. His probation conditions required him to undergo sex-offender treatment. Jones began the program, but was terminated in 1996 for refusal to participate. He was subsequently convicted of trespass, destruction of property, unauthorized use of an automobile, and domestic battery. He did not report his arrest to his probation officer—another probation violation. In 2000 he was released from prison again. In 2001 Jones was convicted for failing to register as a sex offender. He was later convicted of: driving with a suspended license, threatening another person, failure to pay child support, failure to appear in court, and the assault and battery of a coworker. In 2010, Jones stopped registering as a sex offender. He was arrested in 2013. Jones was sentenced to 18 months in prison and five years of supervised release. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, rejecting claims that the court ignored his arguments in mitigation and imposed unwarranted conditions of supervised release.
