The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public a new sex offender has registered with the Sheriff’s Office after relocating from Michigan.
According to Sheriff John Montgomery, 48-year-old Robert Goertler resides at 152 Rosewood Loop in Mountain Home.
Goertler was arrested in October 2011 in St. Joseph County, Mi. on several counts of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree. He was also convicted on one count of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree in October 2012 and sentenced to a term of imprisonment of four to fifteen years.
Goertler has not yet been assigned a risk level by the Sex Offender Community Notification Assessment.
Goertler 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.
