Sex Offender Gets 130 Months In Prison For Failing To Register
September 22, 2015
Lateef Harris, 38, was sentenced Monday to 130 months state prison for failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements by Circuit Judge Linda Nobles.
Florida law requires that certain individuals convicted of sexually related offenses register with the State of Florida. This registration provides a database through which the State can track their whereabouts. Harris has been a registered sex offender since 1995 and had previously been convicted of failure to comply with the registration requirements. Harris had left the jurisdiction and was arrested in Georgia.
He was originally convicted of sexual battery by an adult on a victim under 12 in Escambia County, according to Florida Department of Law Enforcement records.

There needs to be stiffer penalties on sex offenders anyway , it should be mandatory prison time , crimes against children should be treated as seriously as murder.
Glad they caught this man in Georgia and I am glad he will be locked up, as he should be !
130 MONTHS!? Thats what, about 10-11 years? Really? And this is not the first time hes done this? Great, why not just give him a reward and the keys to the local elementary school?

@mick:
Read the article. The above was included, so he’s been convicted of this before. He has also failed to register as a sex offender before too, so the sentence is more than justified.
Will he still need to notify his new address for his cellmate safety
He was convicted 20 years ago for his crime. Recently he failed to register and is now punished again. Sounds like the system worked.
A sexual predator since before 1995 and it only took 20 years to do something about it…
