A 34-year-old man convicted of being a sexual predator has reported a temporary address in the 500 block of Key Royale Drive, Holmes Beach.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement website states the man moved Sept. 9 from St. Cloud near Orlando to Holmes Beach. The FDLE lists the address as a temporary residence.
In November 2000, the man was charged in Osceola County of lewd and lascivious exhibition with a person under the age of 16, but adjudication was withheld. In September 2007, the man was again charged with the offense and convicted. He is classified as a sexual predator by the FDLE.
Florida law requires anyone convicted of a sexual offense register his or her address with the FDLE, including any temporary movements.
Holmes Beach Police Chief Bill Tokajer said he received the FDLE notice and officers visited the residence.
“I spoke with the rental agent and he said the man was scheduled to move out on Monday, Oct. 13,” the chief said.
Officers will follow up to determine if the man left the city, he said.
Two other convicted sex offenders live in Holmes Beach. One offender lives in the 600 block of Dundee Lane on Key Royale, and the other in the 6400 block of Flotilla Drive.
Bradenton Beach has one convicted sex offender as a resident. The FDLE reports the man lives in the 2500 block of Avenue C.
Cortez has one convicted sex offender, a man living in the 4200 block of 129th Street West.
No convicted sex offenders live in Anna Maria, according to FDLE records.
