On Wednesday, 29-year old Amber M. Salts, from Washington Park, Illinois, pled guilty in federal district court, in East Saint Louis, to one count of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, according to the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, James L. Porter. Salts will be sentenced on April 15, 2016, before the Honorable David R. Herndon, at which time she faces a jail sentence of up to ten years, or fines up to $250,000, or both. The violation occurred between April 2015 and July 2015, after Salts moved from Rolla, Missouri, to Washington Park, Illinois, without registering as a sex offender in Illinois or updating her registration in Missouri. Salts had been previously convicted of Permitting the Sexual Abuse of a Child, in 2009, in Madison County, Illinois, and was required to register as a sex offender thereafter.
