Feb. 16, 2018 – Washington Co., 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. Further, his criminal history places him in a classification level which reflects the potential to re-offend.
Eric A. Moffatt will be released from prison on February 27, 2018. After his release he will reside at 1725 Cth NN in the Township of Jackson while he attempts to locate a residence and employment. Eric Moffatt was convicted of 948.11(2), Expose a Child to Harmful Material – 3 counts, on 6/13/2007 in Washington County and was convicted of 948.11(2), Expose a Child to Harmful Material – 2 counts, on 02/21/2001 in Manitowoc County.
Eric Moffatt will be monitored closely by WI-DOC Division of Community Corrections agents. Eric Moffatt will have numerous rules and restrictions to follow including wearing a live tracking GPS unit.
Eric Moffatt had been released from prison in the past, but due to Probation/Parole rule violations he was placed back in prison for a period of time. He is again being released from prison and placed on extended supervision.
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. Over the past several years the home at 1725 Cth NN has been used by the Department of Corrections to temporarily house offenders recently released from prison.
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/offenders
