Convicted sex offender to move to Carter
According to a department press release, Douglas Gerdeen, 36, will be released from custody May 14 and will make his home in the Carter area. Gerdeen was convicted of third degree sexual assault in Oconto County in 2006.
The department notes Gerdeen is not wanted by the police at this time and harassment of him will not be permitted.
"This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather, it is our belief that an informed community is a safer community," the department notes. "Sex offenders have always lived in our communities but it was not until the Sex Offender Registry and Community Notification Law was enacted that law enforcement was able to share this information with the community."
Upon release, Gerdeen will be subject to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections Global Positioning System (GPS). He is also required to register with the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry Program for life.
