Earlier this month, an affidavit accused Batey of failing to register in the 48-hour period following his conviction on aggravated rape and several lesser charges.
A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for May on Batey’s convictions for aggravated rape, sexual battery and criminal attempt to commit aggravated rape.
