Fargo, ND Man Indicted for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender

Fargo – United States Attorney Mac Schneider announced that on October 23, 2024, Kyle Dameon Belgarde, made his initial appearance and was arraigned in federal court. The United States District Court for the District of North Dakota unsealed an Indictment revealing that a federal grand jury indicted Belgarde for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender.

As alleged, Belgarde was required to register as a sex offender due to his 2016 federal conviction for Sexual Abuse of a Minor and failed to register and update his registration.  Belgarde’s last registered address was an apartment in The Arbors at McCormick Park in Fargo, which does not necessarily mean he had a lease or had been permitted by management to reside there.

Belgarde’s trial has been set for December 10, 2024.

The Indictment in this case is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. PSN is based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

This case is being investigated by the Fargo Police Department and the United States Marshals Service. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jacob T. Rodenbiker.
