Sacramento Man Sentenced to Nearly 3 Years in Prison for Failing to Register as a Sex Offender

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Timothy Donald Fialdini, 52, of Sacramento, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England Jr. to two years and 11 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for failure to register as a sex offender, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, in August 2015, Fialdini moved to Sacramento from the state of Nevada and intentionally did not register as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) as was required based on his multiple convictions in Nevada for open and gross lewdness. Among the convictions, in 2009, Fialdini was convicted of committing sexual battery upon a female victim and an intentional sex act in public.

On November 30, 2015, Fialdini indecently exposed himself to an adult female in Sacramento. On March 8, 2016, Fialdini was arrested in a Sacramento County park by deputy U.S. Marshals with the assistance of state and local law enforcement.

This case was the product of an investigation by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Sex Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE) Team. The SAFE Team is a multi-agency task force operating in Northern California that monitors sex offenders and conducts investigations regarding sex offender registration violations. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle Rodriguez prosecuted the case.
