Man accused of failing to register as sex offender with prior conviction

Currently held in Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center

(LAWRENCEBURG, Ind.) – A Milan man has been arrested for failing to meet the requirements when registering as a sex offender. 

The Dearborn County Prosecutors Office alleges 43-year-old Joshua Steelsmith was not always staying at a camper in Milan that he had listed as his address. 

“Additionally, as a condition of the Sex Offender Registry, all vehicles and social media accounts used must be disclosed,” the prosecutors office said. 

Steelsmith allegedly did not disclose a social media account that he routinely used. 

Prosecutors say he also did not disclose a vehicle that he drives for a delivery service. 

He was charged with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender with a Prior Conviction (Level 5 Felony), two counts of Failure to Register (Level 6 Felonies) and a Habitual Offender Sentencing Enhancement. 

Charges were filed in the Dearborn Circuit Court and bond hasn’t been set as of now.
