Ulster County resident Joseph Nash, aka “Nash Von Wicked” and “Nash Bridges,” age 45, of Port Ewen, pled guilty on Tuesday, Nov. 5, to failing to update his registration as a sex offender to include an email address that he failed to disclose, said US Attorney for Northern District of New York Carla Freedman.
Nash admitted that he became a Level II sex offender after he pled guilty in federal court in 2009 to distributing child pornography, Freedman said.
Nash knew that as a registered sex offender, he was required to report, among other things, all email addresses he used to the New York Division of Criminal Justice Services. Despite this requirement, he created an email address in August 2023 and failed to disclose it to authorities as required under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
On federal supervised release at the time of the offense, Nash admitted he did not disclose this email address and a contemporaneously created Facebook account to the US Probation Office for the Northern District of New York.
In addition to his guilty plea to failing to update his registration information as a sex offender, Nash also admitted today that his conduct violated the terms of supervised release imposed as a result of his child pornography conviction, Freedman said.
Sentencing is scheduled for Friday, March 7, 2025. He faces up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and a term of supervised release of at least 5 years and up to life. The supervised release violations carry a maximum term of 2 years in prison.
