In 2012, George was convicted in Dawson County, Georgia of a second count of failure to register as a sex offender and sentenced to six months confinement.
In 2013, George was once again convicted of failure to register as a sex offender, with the third offense occurring in Lumpkin County, Georgia, where he was sentenced to two years confinement.

Montgomery says George has not been assigned a risk level by the Sex Offender Community Notification Assessment.
George 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.

Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to do community notification.
