Bowling Green Man Receives Two-Year Sentence for Federal Sex Offender Registry Violation

In Bowling Green, Kentucky, a case concerning the violation of a federal sex offender registry resulted in a man facing a jail term. The sentence has recently been assigned by the court.

Kelly Lamont Mason: The Convict

The offender, a 52-year-old man named Kelly Lamont Mason, from Bowling Green, Warren County, was handed down a two-year prison sentence. It will be followed by a five-year period of supervised release for a count of failing to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). The punishment comes as a fit response to his knowingly failure to update his registration with the SORNA.

Past Misdeeds

Previously, Mason was found guilty and convicted on June 26, 2003, for the charges of sexual battery by an authority figure under Tennessee law. This previous charge carries a lifetime requirement for registration under SORNA.

The document signed by Mason confirms that he was fully informed about this condition, hence the recent charges for failing to abide by the rules. His move to Warren County in the summer of 2023 further added to the authorities’ concerns as he failed to report his whereabouts and keeping his SORNA registration updated.

Dire Consequences

Given the serious nature of the offense, Mason’s actions were ultimately recognized as non-compliant with the federal system’s regulations. Consequently, the courts showed no leniency in dealing with Mason. It’s important to note there is no parole in the federal system. Thus, Mason must serve his full sentence without the possibility of early release.

Final Verdict

The court hopes that the two-year prison sentence, coupled with an additional five years supervised release, will serve as a potent deterrent to Mason while reiterating the importance of adhering strictly to the SORNA’s conditions. This case also stands to remind other sexual offenders of the severe consequences often associated with violating the registration conditions.
