Bismarck Man Sentenced to 18 Months in Federal Prison for Failing to Register as Sex Offender

ABERDEEN - United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced today that U.S. District Judge Charles B. Kornmann has sentenced a South Dakota man convicted of Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. The sentencing took place on May 18, 2026.

Dale David Glick, 31, was sentenced to one year and six months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. This sentence runs consecutively to a nine-month sentence for a supervised release revocation.

Glick was indicted for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender by a federal grand jury in August 2025. He pleaded guilty on September 29, 2025.

Glick was previously federally convicted of Sexual Abuse of a Minor. As a result, he is required to register as a sex offender. Following his most recent release from federal prison on January 24, 2025, Glick registered his aunt's address as his primary residence even though he was living with his girlfriend in McLaughlin, South Dakota. Glick moved to Bismarck, North Dakota in mid-May. He only updated his registration on June 26, 2025, following his arrest for violating his federal supervised release.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl Thunem prosecuted the case.

Glick was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service to serve his federal sentence.

This case was brought as a part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by the U.S. Attorney's Offices and the DOJ's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Unit, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
