Man Sentenced for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender

United States Attorney Lesley A. Woods announced that Dale Patrick Grant, 37, originally from Sioux City, Iowa, was sentenced on January 9, 2026, in federal court in Omaha, Nebraska, for failure to register as a sex offender. Chief United States District Court Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr., sentenced Grant to 21 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After Grant’s release from prison, he will begin a five-year term of supervised release.

In January 2020, Grant was convicted in the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska of sexual abuse of a minor, for which he was sentenced to a term of 48 months’ imprisonment. Because of the 2020 conviction, Grant is required to register as a sex offender, including updating his residential address to reflect any changes, which he acknowledged in writing on his release from federal prison in March 2024 onto supervised release. Despite his duty to register, beginning in late June 2025, Grant failed to update his registered address after leaving his registered residence in Omaha. Grant was later located by law enforcement in August 2025 in Grand Island and taken into custody.

This case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service.
