The Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public that a Level three sex offender, considered a high risk to re-offend, has moved to Baxter County from Oklahoma and has registered with the Sheriff’s Office. According to Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery, 36-year-old Jay Baker, from Oklahoma, has moved to 188 County Road 900 in Midway.Baker was convicted of rape, three counts of sexual abuse in the first degree and four counts of sexual solicitation of a child in 2001. The offenses involved Baker engaging in sexual behavior with four children he was babysitting, ranging in age from two-years-old to eight.

Baker is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear, rather it is the Sheriff’s belief that an informed public is a safer public. This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate, or harass registered sex offenders. Citizen abuse will not be tolerated. Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to do community notifications.
