SIOUX CITY – A man who failed to register as a sex offender was sentenced August 2, 2017, to more than one year in federal prison.
Daniel Virgil Kleve, age 32, from Sioux City received the prison term after a March 20, 2017, guilty plea to one count of failure to register as a sex offender.
At the guilty plea, Kleve admitted that as the result of a 2007 conviction for possession of child pornography by a United States Army Court Martial, he was required to register as a sex offender under federal law. Between October 2015, and May 2016, he 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. Kleve was sentenced to 12 months’ and 1 day imprisonment. A special assessment of $100 was imposed. He must also serve a 5-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
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.
