A convicted sex offender will be released to community supervision in the Rhinelander area later this month, the city police department announced Tuesday.

Timothy S. Henk, 60, will be residing at 17 W. Prospect Street in the City of Rhinelander, the department announced in a press release. He is 5'11" and weighs approximately 181 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes.

In January 2001, Henk was convicted of kidnapping/seize or confine without consent and second degree sexual assault/use of force in connection with an incident that took place in August 2000.

"Henk's victim was a 29-year-old female out for a walk along a country road," the release states.

Henk will be monitored by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections Probation and Parole Division and local law enforcement. He will be subject to the conditions of the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry as a lifetime registrant and will be placed on GPS monitoring.

If a citizen sees Henk engaging in concerning behavior, they are encouraged to contact local law enforcement. Please contact the Rhinelander Police Department (715) 365-5300 or the Oneida County Sheriff's Office Communications Center at (715) 361-5201.

The release notes that Henk is not wanted by 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," the release states. "Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; but it was not until the WI Sex Offender Registry and Community Notification Law was enacted that law enforcement was able to share this information with the community."
