Clinton J. Johnson U.S. Attorney | U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma
A resident of Ochelata, Ramey Joe-Dawn Dill, 38, has been sentenced to 24 months in prison for failing to register as a sex offender. The sentencing was announced by U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
U.S. District Judge John F. Heil, III, also ordered Dill to serve five years of supervised release following his imprisonment.
According to court records, Dill was previously convicted in state court in 2007 for second-degree rape after raping an unconscious girl. He received a 12-year sentence with nine years suspended and was required to register as a sex offender. Over the past 19 years, Dill has accumulated 15 convictions that include offenses such as rape, DUI, malicious injury, burglary, and prior failures to register as a sex offender.
Dill was convicted in federal court in 2023 for failing to register as a sex offender. After his release in 2025, he again failed to update his address with the sex offender registry.
Court documents indicate that Dill has used multiple 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 is still required to comply with sex offender registration requirements.
The United States Marshal Service conducted the investigation into this case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Michele Hulgaard and Charles Greenough prosecuted the matter.
"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.
