On August 31, 2016 Tremaine Jarrell Molock, 38 of no fixed address, was convicted in Talbot County Circuit Court of a third-degree sex offense involving a 15-year-old victim. A condition of Molock’s release from jail was that he register as a Tier II sex offender for a period of 25 years, with any law enforcement agency where he resides.

If you become homeless you must register once a week in person in each county where you habitually live. CP 11-70S(d)(2).

Molock had been registering weekly as required until December 24, 2018 when he contacted Detective Higgs of the Charles County Sheriff Office and told him that he (Molock) did not have transportation to register.

After conducting his re-registration, the defendant was provided his next registration date of December 31, 2018.
