SEX OFFENDER INFORMATION BULLETIN

 

November 24, 2004

 

The Madison 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.

 

This sex offender was released as a result of a court order.  He is 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 Act 440 was enacted that law enforcement is 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.

 

Harry Montey is registered with the Sex Offender Registry, and upon his release from secure custody with the Department of Health and Family Services, was escorted to the Madison Police Department where a face-to-face registration with law enforcement took place.  Montey is supervised by agents of the WI Division of Community Corrections.  If Harry Montey violates any of the rules or conditions of his parole, he will be taken into custody and placed in confinement pending review of possible revocation proceedings.  Witnessed violations should be reported to the Madison Police Department.
