Minto sex-offender admits registration breach
Jude Dennis O'Reilly, 50, who admitted to luring minors online in 2009 while employed as teacher, thought court order was in effect for 10 years when it was really 20, court hears
A Minto man will be under house arrest for the next month after admitting Friday to violating a court order requiring him to register annually as a sex offender.
Jude Dennis O'Reilly, 50, of Centennial Drive, previously pleaded not guilty to a Jan. 31, 2023, count of failing to comply with an order issued under the Sex Offender Information Registration Act (SOIRA).
He was back in Fredericton provincial court Friday, scheduled to go to trial, but his lawyer - Joel Hansen, who appeared by phone - told the court his client wanted to change his plea to guilty.
O’Reilly confirmed his guilty plea on the record.
