Loretta Dudgeon

     The Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public that a Level 2 Registered Sex Offender (moderate risk to re-offend with community notification justified) has changed addresses and moved to a new location in Baxter County.

NAME:                       LORETTA GAYLE DUDGEON

                                    a/k/a Loretta Stacy and Loretta Jones

DATE OF BIRTH:   07/05/1983

OLD ADDRESS:      8592 Hwy 5 South

                                    Mountain Home, Arkansas 72653

NEW ADDRESS:     8652 Hwy 5 South
                                    Mountain Home, Arkansas 72653

     The offender was convicted of Sexual Assault in the Second Degree on 03/09/2007.  Documentation indicates that offense involved the offender engaging in sexual contact with a 14 year old male. Community notification is justified due to the young age of the victim at the time the offense occurred.

     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.
