NORWICH – A convicted sex offender was sentenced to two years in state prison Friday after probation officers discovered he was hiding e-mail and social networking identities.

Domineco R. Spinella, 28, Borden Ave., pleaded guilty second degree criminal sexual act, a Class D felony, Jan. 5, 2009, admitting he had engaged in a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl at the time. Spinella was originally sentenced to six months in the jail, 10 years probation and was deemed a level two sex offender

Chenango Judge W. Howard Sullivan said a report from the probation department claimed Spinella was using an alias to operate a Facebook and e-mail account under an assumed name.

District Attorney Joseph McBride said the original charges did not involve using the Internet, but the plea deal forbade any online access.

Spinella was originally arrested in August 2008 in the Town of Norwich for a number of sex crimes. The charges refer to incidents of alleged molestation at the Oxford pool and another that occurred at a private residence, both concerning the same victim. According to Spinella’s original indictment, the allegations were made in the Village of Oxford between March and July in 2008.
