A 24-year-old Hastings woman has been sentenced to federal prison.

United States Attorney Deborah Gilg says that Amber Modlin was sentenced to 26 months in federal prison for her failure to register as a sex offender.

Modlin was required to register as a sex offender due to her conviction in January of 2008 of attempted rape and gross sexual imposition on a victim under 13.

On October 31, 2012, the Adams County Sheriff received information that Modlin was in Nebraska.  Modlin did not register her change of address with the District of Nebraska as required by regulations in the Sex Offender Notification Registration Act.

The case was investigated by the United States Marshal’s Service and the Adams County Sheriff’s Department.
