TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY By NATALIE JOHNSON A convicted sex offender in Mason County has absconded from his registra- tion requirements, the Mason County Sheriffs Office announced Dec. 12. Authorities say Abraham Eugene Bates, 27, has made a habit of not regu- larly checking in with the sheriffs office. "This is the third 'time now that he has absconded," said Detective William Adam of the sheriffs office. Bates is normally classified as a level 2 sex offender, but was increased to a level 3 sex offender since absconding. "Every time that a sex offender ab- sconds from his registration that's an- other indicator that he could be reoff- ending," Adam said. Bates is described as a white male, is 6-feet tall and weighs 165 pounds. He has brown eyes and brown hair that he has been known to dye yel- low. Bates has been re- quired to register as a sex offender since pleading guilty in Sep- tember 2010 in Kitsap Colmty Superior Court Abraham E. to attempted rape in Bates the third degree, crimi- nal trespass with sex- ual motivation in the first degree and possession of metham- phetamine. Bates was released from custody after serving his sentence for that conviction in early November, and registered as homeless. The sheriffs office is looking for Bates. The office has advised anyone who sees him to call 911.

SEX OFFENDER INFORMATION/WANTED BULLETIN LEVEL 3 NOTIFICATION OF ABSCONDED/WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN Date: December 12,2012 Prepared by: Detective William Adam Bulletin#: 12-50 Ihe Mason County Sheriff's Office is releasing the lbllowing information pursuant to RCW 4.24.550 and the Washin~on State Supreme t*ourl decision in Stale v. Wa r¢[, which authoriz,:s law enforcement agencies to intbrm the public of a sex offenders release when; in the di',crclion of the agency, the release of information will enhance public safety and protection. The individual who appears on this ~lotificalion has been convicted ol'a sex ofl~.nse that requires registration with the Sheriff's Office in the county of their residence. Further, their prcx ious criminal history plaices them in a classification level which reflects the potential to re-oil;end. This sex oflcnder has served the sentence imposed on him by the c,ourts and has advised the Mason County Sheriff's Office that he will be living in the location below. BATES IS WANTED BY THE ]POLICE. THIS NOTIFICATION IS NOT INTENDED TO INCREASE FEAR, RATHER, IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT AN INFORMED PUBLIC IS A SAFER PUBLIC. The Mason County SherifPs Office has no legal authority to direct ~here a sex ofl~nder may o,r may not live. Unless coull ordered restrictions exist, this offender is constitutionally free to live wherever he chonscs. Sex of[~:nders have allways lived in our communities, but it wasn't until passage of the Community Protection Act of 1990 ¢which a2~tndc¢16,x S~'X (ff](~nder reg,L~trat, ion) that law enforcement even knew where they were living. In many cases, law enforcement is now able Io share that infinmation with you. Citizen abuse of this information to Ihreatcn, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders will not be after alcd. Furthar, such abuse coulld potentially end law enforcement's ability to do community notifications, We believe the only parson x~h. ~ ins if community notification ends is the sex otI'endar, since sex ot~ndars derive their power through secrecy. If you have any iuformation regarding current criminal activity of this or any other offender, please call 911.
