United States v. Cary, No. 14-1961 (7th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseAt age 15 Cary was on supervision for battery after touching the buttocks of a woman. He dropped out of high school and worked washing dishes. He was diagnosed as cannabis- and alcohol-dependent, but was asked to leave a treatment center after threatening staff and patients. In 2009, then age 25, Cary had sexual intercourse with a minor under age 17. He pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal sexual abuse and registered as a sex offender in Illinois. He also pleaded guilty to unrelated charges of theft and domestic battery. Released from jail, he moved to Florida, assuming a new identity. He did not report his departure from Illinois, nor did he register as a sex offender in Florida, violating the Illinois registry law and the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, 18 U.S.C. 2250. In 2011, Cary was found peering into the windows of a university sorority house. He pleaded guilty to prowling and failing to register. The court sentenced him to 33 months’ imprisonment. The Seventh Circuit remanded for modification of conditions of supervised release, including a hearing on the scope of the computer monitoring and filtering software and sexually oriented websites Cary is prohibited from accessing.
