Registered sex offender to be released Tuesday, Feb. 19 in Town of Jackson | By Washington County Sheriff Martin Schulteis

Feb. 18, 2019 – Washington Co., WI – The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is releasing the following information pursuant to WI Statute 301.46(2m) which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offender’s release when, in the discretion of the agency, the release of information will enhance public safety, awareness and protection.

The individual who appears on this notification has been convicted of a sex offense. Further, his criminal history places him in a classification level which reflects the potential to re-offend.

James C. Castro Sr., 47, will be released from prison on Feb. 19, 2019.  After his release he will reside at 1725 Cth NN in the Town of Jackson while he attempts to locate a residence and employment. James C. Castro Sr. was convicted of 2 counts of 4^th Degree Sexual in Washington County on 9-17-2007, and 1 count of 3^rd Degree Sexual Assault in Washington County on 12-1-2015. Victims of James C. Castro Sr. were known to James. James C. Castro Sr. will be on probation until 2-23-24 and will be monitored closely by WI-DOC Division of Community. James C. Castro Sr. will have numerous rules and restrictions to follow.

This sex offender has served the prison sentence imposed on him by the courts. He is NOT wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear, but rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.

Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; but it was not until the Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification Law was enacted that law enforcement was able to share this information with the community.  More information can be located at https://appsdoc.wi.gov/public/faq
