Daniel Virgil Kleve, Failure to Register as Sex Offender, Iowa 2017

A 32-year-old man from Sioux City, Iowa, has been sentenced to over a year in federal prison for failing to register as a sex offender.

Daniel Virgil Kleve, 32, received the prison term after a guilty plea to one count of failure to register as a sex offender. Kleve admitted that as the result of a 2007 conviction for possession of child pornography, he was required to register as a sex offender under federal law.

Between October 2015, and May 2016, Kleve traveled in interstate commerce from Nebraska to Iowa, and failed to update his sex offender registration to reflect his employment in Iowa, as required by federal law.

Kleve was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand. The sentence included 12 months and 1 day imprisonment, a special assessment of $100, and a 5-year term of supervised release after the prison term.

Kleve is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Timothy Duax and investigated by United States Marshals’ Service.

This is the latest in a series of cases involving individuals who have failed to register as sex offenders in the state of Iowa. The failure to register as a sex offender is a serious crime that carries significant penalties, including imprisonment and fines.

The case file number is 16-CR-4081, and court file information can be found at https://ecf.iand.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl.
