Sex offender registry violation
A South Dakota man who had been convicted in Shawano County of repeated sexual assault of two children in 1996 was charged last week with a felony count of failing to update his status with the state Sex Offender Registry.
Dale R. Vanoss, 52, could face a maximum of six years in prison and $10,000 fine if found guilty.
As a lifetime registered sex offender, Vanoss is required to keep the state registry apprised of any changes of address or employment.
The criminal complaint alleges he moved from his last known address address in Rapid City, S.D., in January without notifying the registry.
A warrant was issued for his arrest on Jan. 19.
According to court records, Vanoss was previously convicted of the repeated sexual assault of two juvenile girls in the city of Shawano.
Court records also show he was sentenced to six months in jail as a condition of seven years on probation.
