Good question. If you resided in two separate counties and you are a convicted sex offender requiring registration under the law of your state in the counties where you resided at the time and failed to do so, you could be convicted for failing to register as a sex offender in each of those counties when you resided there.
If you do not have a criminal defense attorney representing you at this time for the issues you are writing about, I recommend that you consult with a criminal defense attorney.
