A federal grand jury has indicted Troy Darnell McFall, 54, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for failing to register as a sex offender. The announcement was made by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
United States Attorney Brian D. Miller stated that between December 2024 and July 2025, McFall traveled across state lines without updating his sex-offender registration as required by the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). He left Pennsylvania and later returned to reside at a new address without notifying authorities.
The United States Marshals Service conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Michael Scalera is prosecuting the case.
“This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc.”
If convicted under federal law for this offense, McFall faces up to 10 years in prison, supervised release after imprisonment, and a fine. Sentencing will be determined by a judge based on federal statutes and sentencing guidelines.
Authorities remind that indictments are only allegations. “All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.”
