United States Attorney Dennis R. Holmes announced that a Vancouver, Washington, man convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender was sentenced on March 21, 2022, by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier.
Aidan Gianni Carl Bratt, age 21, was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Bratt was indicted by a federal grand jury on August 3, 2021. He pled guilty on December 21, 2021.
The conviction stems from Bratt failing to register as a sex offender as required by federal law between October 11, 2020 and January 12, 2021. Bratt had previously been convicted of a sex offense in the State of Washington. On October 8, 2021, Bratt traveled to South Dakota from Washington State and began to reside in South Dakota. He knowingly failed to register his change of residence in either South Dakota and/or Washington, within three business days of his relocation, as required by law.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey C. Clapper prosecuted the case.
Bratt was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
