March 22, 2022 – Town of Jackson, WI – The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is releasing the following information pursuant to WI 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.
Peter M. Josephson will be released from prison on March 22, 2022. After his release he will reside at 1725 CTH NN in the Township of Jackson.
In 2007 Peter M. Josephson was convicted of Repeated Sexual Assault of Same Child, and Possession of Child Pornography. Peter M. Josephson will be on probation until March 23, 2047. He will be monitored closely by WI-DOC Division of Community Corrections. Peter M. Josephson will have numerous rules and restrictions to follow including wearing a live tracking GPS unit.
This sex offender has served the prison sentence imposed on him by the courts. He is NOT wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear, but 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. More information can be located at https://appsdoc.wi.gov/public/faq
