A Lansdale man with a lifetime registration requirement under Megan’s Law is headed to state prison after pleading guilty to providing the wrong address to the sex offender registry.
Daniel Kinion, 56, was sentenced by Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Thomas Rogers to 3½ to 10 years in state prison on Feb. 28, after Kinion entered a guilty plea to one felony charge of failing to provide accurate registration information. Kinion was deemed a sexually violent predator in April 2009, following a conviction on charges including the aggravated indecent assault of a minor. He carries a lifetime registration requirement under Megan’s Law.
Court records show Kinion will receive credit for 588 days of time served while awaiting a resolution to his case.
According to the criminal complaint, Kinion was registered with Pennsylvania State Police Megan’s Law Unit on June 1, 2020, ahead of his anticipated release from prison later that month. Kinion was released around June 17, 2020, and provided his address as the 100 block of Allison Court, the report states.
On June 30, 2020, police were dispatched to the address Kinion provided to the registry for a check-in, but discovered that he did not live there, the report states. However, investigators learned that Kinion was friends with one of the residents of the home, police said.
Several days later, police spoke to Kinion’s friend, who stated that he had not lived there since his release, and they believed he was residing in an apartment along the 300 block of North Broad Street, the report states. The friend provided police with Kinion’s cell phone number and said they had seen him earlier in the day, but efforts by police to reach Kinion were unsuccessful, according to the complaint.
After several weeks, Kinion was located and taken into custody. He was then charged with providing a false address to the registry.
