A resident of Ochelata, Oklahoma, was sentenced for failing to register as a sex offender, according to an announcement from U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
U.S. District Judge John F. Heil, III sentenced Ramey Joe-Dawn Dill, 38, to 24 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release. Dill’s conviction stems from his failure to update his address with the sex offender registry after being released in 2025.
Court documents indicate that Dill was convicted in 2007 for second-degree rape after assaulting an unconscious girl and was required to register as a sex offender following his sentence. Over the past 19 years, Dill has accumulated 15 convictions including rape, DUI, malicious injury, burglary, and previous failures to register as a sex offender.
Dill has also used multiple aliases such as Ramey Joedon Dill and Ramey Joe-Don Dill. He will remain in custody until he is transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and remains subject to sex offender registration requirements.
The case was investigated by the United States Marshal Service and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michele Hulgaard and Charles Greenough.
“This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
