A resident of Ochelata, Oklahoma, was sentenced to two years in prison for failing to register as a sex offender, according to an announcement from U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
Ramey Joe-Dawn Dill, 38, received a sentence of 24 months imprisonment and five years of supervised release from U.S. District Judge John F. Heil, III. Court records indicate that Dill was previously convicted in 2007 for second-degree rape after assaulting an unconscious girl. He was sentenced at that time to 12 years with nine years suspended and was required to register as a sex offender.
Dill’s criminal record spans the past 19 years and includes 15 convictions such as rape, DUI, malicious injury, burglary, and previous failures to register as a sex offender. In 2023, he was convicted in federal court for failing to register and after his release in 2025 failed again to update his address with the registry.
The court noted that Dill has used several aliases over the years, including 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 continues to be required to register as a sex offender.
The United States Marshal Service conducted the investigation into this case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michele Hulgaard and Charles Greenough prosecuted it.
“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.
