According to police reports, a 25-year-old resident of Lincoln, Joseph Berg, was issued a citation for failing to comply with sex offender reporting requirements. The citation was issued on June 16, 2026, following an investigation by the Vermont State Police at the New Haven Barracks.
The investigation began after the Vermont Sex Offender Registry notified authorities of Berg’s non-compliance status. Police say that Berg had lived in Chittenden County for several months from late 2025 through spring 2026 and was employed in the area during that time. He did not report his change of residence or employment status to the registry, nor did he submit his annual compliance documentation for 2026 within the required timeframe.
Berg is scheduled to appear in the Criminal Division of the Vermont Superior Court in Addison on July 29, 2026, at 12:30 PM. The charges against him are allegations, and the legal process will determine the outcome as the case progresses.
