CARIBOU, Maine — Stephen Olivo, 58, of Caribou pleaded guilty to failing to register as a sex offender in U.S. District Court in Bangor Tuesday and now faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Olivia previously had been convicted of aggravated felonious sexual assault in 1990 when he resided in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, according to a press release the U.S. Department of Justice issued Tuesday.
Olivo moved to Georgia and then to Aroostook County in “late 2014 or early 2015,” but failed to notify the state of New Hampshire that he had moved out of that state, and also failed to register in Maine, according to the DOJ release.
Police arrested him in September 2018 once this was discovered.
According to the New Hampshire State Police, Olivo’s criminal history stretches back to 1978 when he was convicted of disorderly conduct. Since then, he has been convicted of 25 other crimes including theft by unauthorized taking in 1978, possession of marijuana in 1980, simple assault in 1984, witness tampering in 1986, 2nd degree assault in 2003, driving under the influence of drugs or liquor in 2010, and another DUI in 2012.
The U.S. Marshal’s Service conducted the initial investigation into Olivo’s current case and the district court judge will sentence him following the completion of a presentence investigation report by the U.S. Probation Office.
