***Clarification: The suspect in this case has been sentenced to prison time in the Department of Corrections for charges unrelated to his SVP status. Due to this sentence, he will not be released into the community and will remain incarcerated at the Larimer County Jail until he is transferred to a DOC facility. This SVP notification has been made to comply with statutory regulations.***

From Friday, January 10, 2025 through Friday, January 24, 2025, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office will have information posted online regarding the presence of a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) in the community.

The information is being posted pursuant to Colorado Revised Statues 16-13-901 through 16-13-905 to specifically provide notification of the offender and to generally enhance public safety and protection. The information is being posted in lieu of a community meeting.

Larimer County Sheriff’s Office has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may live. Unless court restrictions exist, they are constitutionally free to live wherever they choose. Law enforcement may share sex offender information with the community because of the Jacob Wetterling Act of 1994, and in the case of Sexually Violent Predators, law enforcement must actively notify community members.

Due to the mature content of the information that will be presented, it is not advisable to allow children to view the notification. However, it is strongly encouraged that the appropriate SVP information and public safety information be reviewed with children after parents have read and understood the notification.

Again, the purpose of this notification is to enhance public safety and protection. Vigilantism or use of this information to harass, threaten, or intimidate the offender, the offender’s significant others, or the community notification team is criminal behavior and will not be tolerated.

For questions regarding this notification, contact Investigative Technician Harry Bowen at 970-498-5142. Please see the attached information for details.
