NORTHAMPTON – An Amherst man pleaded not guilty to a charge that he failed to register as a sex offender for the second time.

Gregory Collison, 27, entered his plea in Hampshire Superior Court Friday to a charge that he failed to register as a sex offender, a subsequent offense. Collison was convicted in Franklin Superior Court in March 2014 for failing to register as a sex offender, according to court documents. He is a level two sex offender, which means the state’s Sex Offender Registry Board has deemed him a moderate risk of reoffending.

Collison is already incarcerated on an unrelated matter. Bail on this case was set at $100. His next court appearance is scheduled for July 23. Collision is being represented by attorney John Drake.
