Heading: Failure to Register Conviction and Sentencing

Text: After traveling from New Mexico to Nevada in 2010, Mr. LeCompte failed to register. On May 26, 2011, Mr. LeCompte pled guilty to failing to register as a sex offender after having traveled in interstate commerce, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a), a SORNA provision. Before sentencing, Probation prepared a presentence report (“PSR”). The PSR recommended the imposition of several special conditions, including one titled “Minor Prohibition”: “You shall not associate with persons under the age of eighteen (18), except in the presence of a responsible adult who is aware of the nature of your background and current offense, and who has been approved by the probation officer.” ROA, Vol. 2 at 42. On September 12, 2011, the district court sentenced Mr. LeCompte to 21 months in prison and five years of supervised release. The court also imposed 22 conditions of supervised release, including the minor prohibition condition -3- recommended by Probation. Mr. LeCompte did not appeal the minor prohibition condition.
