A change of plea hearing is set for a convicted sex offender who wound up working as a mall Easter bunny in Minot, days after he pleaded not guilty to the crimes.

Twenty-four-year-old Daniel Sanderson faces two counts of failing to register as a sex offender.

A temp agency hired Sanderson work as the Easter bunny at the Dakota Square Mall this past spring, but the agency failed to do a criminal background check on him.

He was convicted last December of exposing himself to a girl in a hotel.

Court records indicate he'll change his plea Sept. 16.

The charges are C-felonies, meaning he faces the chance of up to five years in prison on each count.
