Delbert Tibbs, a 28-year-old man from Ulster County, was sentenced to 35 months in prison for failing to register as a sex offender after he fled Tennessee and relocated to Ellenville, New York.
According to Acting United States Attorney Antoinette T. Bacon and United States Marshal David L. McNulty, Tibbs removed a court-required GPS tracking device and did not timely register his change of address with authorities in either Tennessee or New York.
On April 9, 2021, Tibbs pled guilty to one count of failure to register as a sex offender. During his plea hearing, Tibbs acknowledged that due to two sexual assault convictions in 2015 in Tennessee, he is required to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act and to keep that registration current.
The investigation was led by the United States Marshals Service and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Emily C. Powers.
Tibbs will serve a 35-month prison sentence, followed by a 5-year term of supervised release.
As a convicted sex offender, Tibbs was required to register under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act.
This case highlights the importance of registration and compliance for sex offenders.
