Fairborn sex offender sent to prison for registration failure
DAYTON — A Fairborn man convicted of failure to register as a sex offender was sentenced Friday, April 2, to one year and one day in federal prison.
Victor Jones, 41, appeared before U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Rose. Jones pleaded guilty Dec. 30 to the charge.
Jones was convicted of child solicitation in St. Joseph County, Ind. in May 2006 and was required to register as a sex offender for ten years. Jones moved to Michigan in 2007, but did not register, according to court documents.
In March 2009, Jones picked up his daughter at her school after he failed to show up at a custody hearing. He fled to Fairborn, according to Carter M. Stewart, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio.
Indiana authorities issued an arrest warrant for Jones for violating conditions of his release. Michigan authorities issued an arrest warrant for Jones for failure to register as a sex offender and for kidnapping. Based on the Indiana warrant, deputy U.S. Marshals arrested Jones at his Fairborn residence on June 25. He has been in custody since his arrest.
Jones was charged federally on July 7, 2009 with traveling in interstate commerce and failing to register as a sex offender.
Jones argued that he did not register as a sex offender in Ohio because he did not want to be found by law enforcement, according to Stewart.
