Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery is notifying the public a new sex offender has registered with the sheriff’s office after being released from the Arkansas Department of Correction.
The sheriff’s office says 39-year-old Jonathan E. Bricker, with an address listed at 243 Boland Drive in Henderson, has been assessed as a Level 3 offender, classified as high risk to reoffend.
Bricker was convicted of two counts of distributing, possessing or viewing matters depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child in March of 2019 in Greene County. This involved Bricker viewing images and videos of nude minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Bricker stated he was targeting images of females ages 12 to 16. Evidence indicates he viewed images of girls as young as 3-to- 5 years old.
Bricker is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is the sheriff’s belief 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 notification.
