Sex offender sentenced to second prison term

A convicted sex offender has been sentenced to 22 to 66 months in prison after not registering with the Pennsylvania State Police.

Christopher S. Frederick of Warren pleaded guilty to a second-degree felony charge of failure to register with the Pennsylvania State Police in September while a second-degree felony charge of failure to verify address/be photographed was not prosecuted. Frederick was sentenced Nov. 14 by Judge Gregory Hammond in the Court of Common Pleas to 22 to 60 months confinement.

It’s the second time Frederick has been charged with failing to update his registration as a sexual offender. He was sentenced by Hammond in 2019 to the mandatory minimum of at least two years in prison as a result of a guilty plea that he failed to update his registration as a sexual offender.

Frederick has been listed as a sex offender on the Pennsylvania Megan’s Law website since July 19, 2013. His primary offense is listed as receipt/attempted receipt of material depicting the sexual exploitation of a minor.

Two other cases scheduled for sentencing didn’t reach that point after Hammond granted motions to reconsider guilty pleas in the cases.

Jason D. Dziubinski, 25, of Jamestown, N.Y., had been scheduled for sentencing on Nov. 14 by Judge Hammond after pleading guilty on Sept. 25 to a charge of simple assault, with two charges of second-degree felony aggravated assault and two misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and a harassment charge not prosecuted. On Nov. 13, Dziubinski’s attorney, Jason Smith of Erie, filed a motion to withdraw the guilty plea. That motion was granted by Hammond.

Dziubinski was also to be sentenced after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction administration of law/other government function, with charges of institutional vandalism of an educational facility, resisting arrest/other law enforcement disorderly conduct and public drunkenness not prosecuted. Smith filed a motion Nov. 13 to delay sentencing on the second case against Dziubinski, which Hammond granted.

Another case scheduled for sentencing on Nov. 14 has been postponed and a bench warrant issued.

Kayla Noel Quick, 39, of Oil City, was charged March 1 after a traffic stop by Youngsville police officers. In August two counts of endangering the welfare of children and three counts of intentional possession of a controlled substance were withdrawn, charges of possession of marijuana, use/possession of drug paraphernalia and two traffic citations were not prosecuted while Quick pleaded guilty to three charges: endangering the welfare of children, intentional possession of a controlled substance by a person not registered and a traffic citation.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, the incident occurred on February 28, 2025, around 9:34 p.m. after an officer patrolling the area saw a silver 2010 Ford Edge with an expired registration on West Main Street near Route 6. During the stop, it was revealed that Quick allegedly did not possess a valid driver’s license and that there were children seated in the rear of the vehicle. The officer said he smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle and subsequently asked Quick about it. She admitted to having marijuana in the car, stating that they had just returned from the Seneca Reservation in New York, where marijuana is legal to purchase. Quick, according to the affidavit, told the officer that she had bought approximately four ounces of marijuana. After providing Quick her Miranda rights, the officer sought consent to search her vehicle and purse, which she granted. During the search, Quick admitted to having a bottle containing crack cocaine and cocaine in her purse.

Police said Quick had an outstanding warrant out of Clearfield County, Pa. Online court docket information shows she is currently in the Venango County Prison.
