The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office announced yesterday a 47-year-old man just released from prison is registered as a level three sex offender and living on the 200 block of Reinke Road east of Centralia.

Jeffery W. Hanson is not wanted by law enforcement, but notification to the community is meant to inform the public and enhance public safety, according to the sheriff’s office.

Hanson was convicted in 2006 in Lewis County Superior Court for having child pornography on his personal computer, specifically, for five counts of dealing in depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, according to the sheriff’s office. He has a 2000 Cowlitz County conviction for the same offense, as well as for voyeurism, according to the bulletin.

The sheriff’s office designated him as a level three sex offender, meaning they believe he has a high risk to reoffend.

Hanson is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.

Sheriff’s detective Jamey McGinty notes Hanson served his full sentence and therefore will be not be supervised by the state Department of Corrections.
