A former Waynesburg man, who was convicted of indecent assault and who failed on three occasions to inform police of his address as required under the state Megan’s Law, was sentenced Wednesday by Greene County Judge Lou Dayich to 1 to 2 years in jail.

Ulysses Arleigh Zimmerman, 34, formerly of Waynesburg and Mt. Morris, moved three times between March and December 2017 and each time failed to provide police with his new address, according to court records.

Zimmerman was required to provide a current address to police for 15 years under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, following a December 2013 conviction for corruption of minors and indecent assault.

The charges stemmed from an assault earlier that year of a girl in Richhill Township. For that offense, Zimmerman had received a jail sentence of 180 days to 23 ½ months.

In his sentencing order on the charges of failing to report, Dayich noted the sentence, which had been agreed to by prosecutors, was in the mitigating range.

Mitigating factors, Dayich said, included Zimmerman’s indigency, his frequent need to change addresses and his limited mental capacity. Dayich also said he did not believe Zimmerman’s action were malicious.

The judge also sentenced Zimmerman to a consecutive five years of probation and ordered him to pay a fine of $100 and perform 100 hours of community service.

According to police, Zimmerman was not living at his listed address of 260 W. High St., Waynesburg, when they went to check on him March 13, 2017. His address was subsequently listed as 119 Ridge Road, Mt. Morris, but police said when they went there June 2, they were told he had moved in April.

Zimmerman later was listed as residing at 381 Water Dam Road, Waynesburg. However, a person at that address told police Nov. 30 Zimmerman had moved away three weeks earlier.
