Full Notification

The Sheboygan Police Department is releasing the following information pursuant to Wisconsin State Statute 301.46(2m) which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offender’s release when, in the discretion of the agency, the release of information will enhance public safety, awareness and protection.  The individual who appears on this notification has been convicted of a sex offense.  Further, his criminal history places him in a classification level which reflects the potential to re-offend.
 
These sex offenders have served the sentence imposed on them by the courts.  They are NOT wanted by the police at this time.  This notification is not intended to increase fear, rather, it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.
 
Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; but it was not until the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Law was enacted that law enforcement was able to share this information with the community.  Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders will NOT be tolerated.
