St. Francis Man Sentenced for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender

United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a St. Francis, South Dakota, man convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender was sentenced on October 16, 2018, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Gregory Paul Quigley, a/k/a Greg Paul Quigley, age 54, was sentenced to 13 months in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Quigley was indicted by a federal grand jury on April 17, 2018.  He pled guilty on August 7, 2018.

Quigley was convicted of Abusive Sexual Contact in July of 2016.  As a result of this conviction, he is required to register as a sex offender.  Quigley initially registered his residence in West St. Francis, South Dakota.  Quigley’s probation officer could not locate Quigley at his registered address and subsequently found him at a different residence in St. Francis. The probation officer informed him he was in violation of his probation and he was instructed to report to City/County Alcohol and Drug Program (CCADP) in Rapid City, South Dakota, on November 27, 2017.  Quigley failed to report to CCADP. He was not at his registered address, and his whereabouts were unknown until he was arrested on March 15, 2018. 

This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Albertson prosecuted the case.

Quigley was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
