A 44-year-old Cedar Falls man was sent to federal prison for failing to register as a sex offender in Iowa.
Christopher Pate, 44, received a 21-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to one count of failing to register as a sex offender.
Pate was required to register as a sex offender due to a 2001 conviction for sexual abuse in the third degree in Black Hawk County.
According to court documents, Pate moved from North Carolina to Iowa and failed to register as a sex offender in the state.
He was sentenced by United States District Court Chief Judge Linda R. Reade in Cedar Rapids.
Pate must serve a five-year term of supervised release and comply with all sex offender registration and public notification requirements.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mark Tremmel and investigated by the United States Marshals Service, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Black Hawk County Sheriff’s Office.
This case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Pate was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment.
