Waubay Man on Registry After 2004 Rape Conviction<\/h2>\n

Waubay (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 Christopher Reed Fayant is listed on South Dakota’s public sex offender registry.<\/p>\n

The current state record lists Fayant as compliant.<\/p>\n

It lists his residence in Waubay, located in Day County.<\/p>\n

The state profile shows an update date of July 6, 2026.<\/p>\n

Registration information supplied for this report identifies Fayant as a Tier 2 offender.<\/p>\n

The supplied record also lists a verification date of January 26, 2026.<\/p>\n

2004 Rape Conviction<\/h2>\n

The South Dakota registry lists a rape conviction dated November 10, 2004.<\/p>\n

The conviction was entered in Codington County.<\/p>\n

The registry identifies the historical offense as third-degree rape.<\/p>\n

The state record cites South Dakota Codified Law 22-22-1(6).<\/p>\n

The registry description says the case involved a 16-year-old female victim.<\/p>\n

The public record does not identify the victim by name.<\/p>\n

South Dakota’s rape law has changed since Fayant’s 2004 conviction.<\/p>\n

The registry warns that older statutes may not match today’s wording.<\/p>\n

Current law places subsection 22-22-1(6) within fourth-degree rape.<\/p>\n

That change does not alter the conviction title displayed on Fayant’s registry record.<\/p>\n
