A Rulo, Nebraska man has been sentenced for failing to register as a sex offender.

U.S. Judge Joseph F. Bataillon sentenced Roger W. Price, 51, to an 18 month term of imprisonment.

After his release from prison, Price will begin a term of supervised release of 10 years.

Price was previously convicted in the State of Delaware of an offence requiring him to register as a sex offender for life.

In October of 2012, United States Marshals Service became aware that Price was living in Rulo, Nebraska. It was determined that Price had been in Nebraska for at least two months.

Price had not registered as a sex offender with the Nebraska State Patrol.
