The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public another sex offender relocated to the area. Eighty-one-year-old Cecil Wainscott is residing at 3882 Highway 101 North, Apartment 2, in Gamaliel.
According to Sheriff John Montgomery, Wainscott has not yet been assigned a Risk Level by the Sex Offender Community Notification Assessment. He was convicted in California in 1995 of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 and use of foreign objects on person under 14 years of age. He was committed to prison for a term of 14 years in California, and he had subsequent violations of parole.
Wainscott 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.
