NORWICH – Convicted sex offender, 26-year-old Anthony J. Biviano of Norwich, was sentenced in Norwich City Court for the class A misdemeanor – which was reduced from a felony – of filing a false statement.

It is alleged Biviano, after being arrested as a sex offender for the class E felony of failing to register, wrote down an incorrect address on a Norwich City Police Department document.

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 13-year-old female, non-stranger victim.

Biviano pleaded guilty to filing a false statement and according to First Assistant District Attorney Michael D. Ferrarese, his felony of failing to register is still pending in Chenango County Court.

“Writing down false addresses are crimes,” said Ferrarese. “He can't mislead and lie to the police.”
