A Brockton man was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for failing to register as a sex offender.
Charles Towers, 52, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin to two years in prison and five years of supervised release.
Towers is required to register as a sex offender based on a 2009 conviction in San Diego Superior Court of attempted forcible oral copulation. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender for life.
After serving his sentence, Towers registered as a sex offender in California. In April 2014, Towers moved from San Diego to Brockton and failed to both notify the San Diego Police Department’s Sex Offender Unit of his change of address and to register as a sex offender with the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board, as he was legally required to do.
