NORWICH – Convicted sex offender, 26-year-old Anthony J. Biviano of Norwich, pleaded guilty to failing to register his change of address as a sex offender and was sentenced to one year of incarceration at the county jail.

Biviano was convicted of the violent felony of attempted rape in the second degree in April of 2009.

According the New York State Sex Offender Registry, he had sexual intercourse and sexual contact with a non-stranger 13-year-old female victim.

Biviano was arrested in January of this year for failing register his address as sex offenders are required to by law and was charged with a class E felony.

After being released on his own recognizance by Norwich City Court regarding the charge of failing to register as a sex offender, authorities said it was later discovered that Biviano intentionally provided a false address to the Norwich City Police Department when he was arrested and to the court when he was arraigned for the charge.

He was then charged with a second felony for filing a false statement, which was later reduced to a misdemeanor.

Once charged with a second felony, on Jan. 13, 2015, Biviano was remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility in lieu of $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond. He has been incarcerated at the county jail since.

Earlier this month, Biviano pleaded guilty to the class A misdemeanor of filing a false statement in Norwich City Court and was sentenced to six months incarceration at the county jail.

On April 22, 2015, Biviano appeared in Chenango County Court and pleaded guilty to the class E felony of failure to register or verify as a sex offender.

According to his public defender John Cameron and the indictment, Biviano moved from his Silver Street residence in the City of Norwich before Christmas of 2014 and as of Jan. 10, 2015 failed to notify authorities of his move to an unknown address within 10 days.

Regarding Biviano's criminal history, District Attorney Joseph A. McBride said, “Unfortunately Mr. Biviano and I go back 10 years.”

“You still look like you are 12,” said McBride to Biviano. “Your parents came [to court] in the past, but they are not here now. You have to grow up and become a productive member of society. People are fed up with seeing you in the court.”

Cameron requested Judge Frank B. Revoir, Jr. have Biviano's County Court sentence of incarceration for the class E felony run concurrent or at the same time as his City Court sentence of incarceration for the class A misdemeanor.
