SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — A Sioux Falls, South Dakota, man previously convicted of felony sex crimes, appeared in
federal court.
Jeremiah Calvin Rederth, age 38, made his appearance from U.S.
Penitentiary – Leavenworth, in Leavenworth, Kansas, before U.S. Magistrate
Judge Veronica L. Duffy. Rederth pled guilty to the Indictment returned against
him for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender.
According to court documents, Rederth was convicted in 2010 of fourth
degree rape, a Class 3 Felony, in the 3rd Judicial Circuit, South Dakota. He was
sentenced to 10 years, and 2 years of the sentence were suspended with
conditions. As a result of his prior conviction, Rederth is classified as a Tier II
sex offender, which requires him to register 2 times per year and update the sex
offender registry within 3 days of any change of address, school, or place of
employment. Rederth knew of his obligation to register as a sex offender and to
update his registration, but failed to do so.
