USA v. Starr
Name of Sentencing Judicial Officer The Honorable Lonny R. Suko, Senior U.S. District Judge
PETITION FOR WARRANT OR SUMMONS FOR OFFENDER UNDER SUPERVISION
PETITIONING THE COURT
To incorporate the violation(s) contained in this petition in future proceedings with the violation(s) previously reported to the Court on 05/14/2024, 06/28/2024, and 07/08/2024.
On January 25, 2024, the offender's conditions of supervised release were reviewed by the probation officer and he signed said conditions acknowledging an understanding of his requirements.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
Violation Number
Nature of Noncompliance
8
Special Condition #10 : You must not have direct contact with any child you know or reasonably should know to be under the age of 18, without permission of the probation officer. Supporting Evidence : The offender is alleged to have violated special condition number 10, by having contact with a minor without the permission of the probation officer on or about July 22, 2024.
On July 25, 2024, this officer contacted the offender via telephone to discuss his housing situation. During that conversation, Mr. Starr mentioned in passing that he had contact with his girlfriend's minor son on or about July 22, 2024. He explained that his girlfriend picked him up to take him to an appointment and her teenage son was also in the vehicle. When questioned as to why he would accept a ride from his girlfriend when her minor son was in the vehicle, Mr. Starr responded, “I didn't even think about it.” He further stated that he did not believe he did anything wrong because his girlfriend is his approved chaperone for minor contact. Mr. Starr was admonished for his behavior, as he never received permission from the probation officer to have contact with his girlfriend's son. It should be noted, during an office appointment with the offender and his girlfriend on June 25, 2024, the offender was advised that even though his girlfriend is an approved chaperone, all minor contact has to be approved by the probation officer in advance. When Mr. Starr was reminded of this conversation, he acknowledged he was aware he was not authorized to have contact with his girlfriend's son.
The U.S. Probation Office respectfully recommends the Court to incorporate the violation(s) contained in this petition in future proceedings with the violation(s) previously reported to the Court.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Lori Cross U.S. Probation Officer
