OXFORD, Miss. — A federal judge has set an April 9 trial date for a man charged with failing to register as a sex offender.
Federal court records in north Mississippi indicate that the 46-year-old man named Judge David Ervin was indicted in January on a charge that he didn't register as a sex offender in Mississippi from Nov. 15 to Dec. 13, 2011.
The trial is scheduled to take place in U.S. District Court in Oxford.
Ervin was convicted in 2001 on a charge of touching of a child or a mentally defective, incapacitated or physically helpless person for lustful purposes. His previous address in the sex offender registry was the Cook County Jail in Chicago.
He pleaded not guilty to failing to register on Feb. 16.
