Sheriff’s office provides update on sex offender’s address
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office has announced that Randy P. Scott, 58, a convicted sex offender, is homeless but is now staying at the Clark County Fairgrounds, 1121 E. Division St., Neillsville. Previously he had been living at Knobby Ridge Motorcycle Trailhead and Campground.
“When Mr. Scott does obtain a residence, the public will be notified of that information,” Captain Kerry Kirn of the sheriff’s office wrote in a Nov. 21 press release.
Scott had been residing at the Clark County Fairgrounds. The press release did not specify when Scott was released from custody.
Scott was previously convicted of child enticement and possession of child pornography. His targeted victims are minor females. Scott had online conversations with someone he believed to be a 14-year-old female. He arranged to meet for the purpose of having sexual intercourse. He was also in possession of child sexual abuse material with images of pre-pubescent female victims.
Scott is 5’9” tall and weighs approximately 200 pounds. He has brown hair, with graying facial hair, and hazel eyes.
Scott has served the sentence imposed on him by the courts and 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,” Kirn wrote.
Scott will be supervised by agents specializing in intensive supervision. He is to have no unsupervised contact with minors, no visits to taverns/bars/ liquor stores and is not to consume any alcohol or drugs. He is to comply with the standard sex offender rules, cooperate with electronic monitoring, and is required to have face-to-face contact with law enforcement, as well as comply with all requirements as a lifetime registrant of the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry.
Notification of sex offender release Wisconsin Statute 301.46(2m) 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.
“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,” Kirn wrote.
