The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public a Level 2 registered sex offender has relocated from Marion to Baxter County.
Sheriff John Montgomery says 35-year-old Gerald D. McCanless has moved to 58 Buckhaven Lane, Unit 8 in Briarcliff.
Level 2 is considered a moderate risk to re-offend with community notification justified.
McCanless plead guilty to child molestation in the first degree in May of 2017. The offense involved then 28-year-old McCanless engaging in sexual contact with a 4-year-old female child.
McCanless 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 provide community notification.
