     The offender was convicted on 01/19/2012 of Possession of Child Pornography.  This offense involved the offender viewing images of 12 to 13 year old females.  Public notification is justified due to the age of the victims involved.    

     This person is not wanted by law enforcement at this time.  This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.  This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate, or harass Registered Sex Offenders.  Citizen abuse will not be tolerated.  Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to do community notification.
