The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office reports taking two convicted sex offenders to prison this week, both for failing to register as sex offenders. One was given a second chance. The other was not.

Circuit Judge Thomas Nichols Chapman heard both cases.

One defendant pleaded guilty back in 2012, and was granted probation after serving 120-days “shock time” behind bars. But eight months after his release, Joseph Boger of Cameron had violated that probation. Between his release in March and his final sentencing last week, the online court file in the case contains 15 separate docket entries.

The other detainee, Charles Henson of Chillicothe, was charged in October, and last week pleaded guilty (just the one docket entry for that). Henson was sentenced immediately to the Missouri Department of Corrections.

Now both defendants will serve four years in the DOC.
