CINCINNATI - A judge ordered Milwaukee Bucks forward Ruben Patterson to pay a $1,000 fine for failing to register as a convicted sex offender after he moved into a new neighborhood.
Patterson, 31, pleaded no contest Friday to the misdemeanor charge, said Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters. The fine was the maximum amount Hamilton County Municipal Judge Ted Berry could have imposed.
Authorities sought the charge after a neighbor complained last month. Patterson moved into a $3.4 million home in the Cincinnati suburb of Indian Hill last November, according to county records.
Its already embarrassing to be labeled as a sex offender, which I guess he is, but its even more embarassing when you fail to register, it makes the news then you have people thinking you are up to something.
A sex offender with millions of dollars. Only in America.
