Violation
Number 	Nature of Noncompliance
1 	“You shall reside at a location approved by the probation
officer and shall notify the probation officer at least 72
hours 	prior 	to 	any 	planned 	change 	in 	place 	or
circumstances of residence or employment (including, but
not limited to, changes in residence occupants, job
positions, job responsibilities). When prior notification is
not possible, you shall notify the probation officer within
72 hours of the change.”
On June 4, 2025, this officer attempted to make contact with Mr.
Jenkinson at his reported hotel room. An unknown third party
answered the door, noting he had moved into the room
yesterday. Hotel management advised Mr. Jenkinson had not
been seen since on or about May 30, 2025, and confirmed the
room was provided to another patron. His current whereabouts
are unknown.
On June 4, 2025, this officer spoke with Mr. Jenkinson's
reported employer, who advised his last day with their company
was May 22, 2025.
2 	“The defendant shall comply with the requirements of the
Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (42 U.S.C.
§ 16913, et seq.) as directed by the probation officer, the
Bureau of Prisons, or any state sex offender registration
agency in which he or she resides, works, is a student, or
was convicted of a qualifying offense.”
On June 4, 2025, it was confirmed Mr. Jenkinson is not residing
at his reported residence, or working with his reported employer
as outlined in the above allegations. He has not reported these
changes within 72 hours as required by Indiana law. Law
enforcement is currently reviewing this case for possible new
criminal charges.
4. 	The parties stipulated that:
(a) 	The highest grade of violation is a Grade B violation.

(b) 	Defendant’s criminal history category is IV.
(c) 	The advisory range of imprisonment applicable upon revocation
of supervised release, therefore, is 12 to 18 months’
imprisonment.
5. 	The parties jointly recommended a sentence of 24 months'
imprisonment with supervised release to follow (288 months for the 2013 case and
52 months for the 2016 case). Defendant requested placement at FCI Elkton or FCI
Seagoville.
The Magistrate Judge, having considered the relevant factors in 18 U.S.C. §
3553(a), see 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e), and as more fully set forth on the record, finds that
the Defendant violated the conditions in the petition, that his supervised release
should be revoked in both above-captioned cause numbers, and that Defendant
should be sentenced to:
- 	Cause No. 1:13-cr-0250: the custody of the Attorney General or her
designee for a period of 24 months followed by 288 months of supervised
release; and
- 	Cause No. 1:16-cr-0081: the custody of the Attorney General or her
designee for a period of 24 months followed by 52 months of supervised
release.
- 	The undersigned recommends that the above-listed incarceration and
supervision terms run concurrently.
In addition to the mandatory conditions of supervision, the following conditions of
supervised release will be imposed

software. To promote the effectiveness of this monitoring, you shall
disclose in advance all cellular phones, electronic devices, computers, and
any hardware or software to the probation officer and may not access or
use any undisclosed equipment.

may contain evidence of such violation or conduct. Other law enforcement
may assist as necessary. You shall submit to the seizure of contraband
found by the probation officer. You shall warn other occupants these
locations may be subject to searches.

supervised release, to the extent you are financially able to pay: sexual
disorder assessment, treatment, physiological testing, and computer
