A man who has been living in Kansas City, Kan., was sentenced Wednesday to two years in federal prison for failing to register as a sex offender, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said. His sentence will be followed by 10 years on supervised release.

Bryan Lee Shuck, 32, Kansas City, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of failure to register under the federal Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act. In his plea, he admitted that he was convicted on a charge of deviate sexual assault on July 27, 2004, in Shelby County, Mo. He later registered at an address in Missouri.
