A sex offender living in Beaumont was sentenced to federal prison for failing to register in the Eastern District of Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Abe McGlothin, Jr.
Lequinte Dangelo Johnson, 37, pleaded guilty to failure to register as a sex offender and was sentenced to 24 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Marcia A. Crone on February 13, 2025.
According to information presented in court, in 2006, in Riverside, California, Johnson was convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old. As part of his sentence, Johnson was required to register as a sex offender. In July of 2023, the U.S. Marshals Service in Beaumont received information containing Johnson’s updated sex offender registration paperwork from Arizona. The paperwork indicated that Johnson had registered as homeless with a “RESIDENCE OR PHYSICAL LOCATION” in Glendale, Arizona. However, he listed a “409” cell phone number as his contact information. Through information found on social media, it was determined that Johnson was living in Beaumont where he was eventually found living in a storage unit, although never having registered in Texas.
