Waukesha Police issued a public notice announcing the planned release of Daniel R. Schmidt, a lifetime registrant of the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry. FOX6 described Schmidt as 27 and reported that his release was set for a Tuesday, with a residence on Ramona Drive planned. The station also reported lifetime GPS monitoring.
The Waukesha Police Department posted the notice on Facebook.
FOX6 reported that Schmidt was convicted of sexual assault involving a 13-year-old boy.
Conditions of His Release
FOX6 reported that Schmidt was subject to lifetime GPS monitoring and other restrictions. Waukesha County says its release bulletins are issued under Wisconsin Statutes § 301.46(2m), which authorizes law enforcement agencies, at their own discretion, to inform the public when a sex offender is released, according to Waukesha County.
GPS monitoring is among the possible requirements for people under supervision.
A Case Dating Back to 2012
FOX6 News later reported that Schmidt was convicted in 2012 of possession of child pornography, fleeing an officer, and third-degree sexual assault. The station also reported that, as a result of his convictions, Schmidt was required to register with the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry for life and wear a GPS monitoring bracelet for life.
A FOX6 News Milwaukee Facebook post previewed a video report from reporter Amy DuPont about help finding Daniel Schmidt a home before an upcoming release. FOX6 reported that he would live at a Ramona Drive residence.
Police have not released additional details about Schmidt's current supervision arrangements beyond what is listed in this week's bulletin. Residents with concerns are directed to the conditions outlined in the department's public notice.
