The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services issued an alert this week to Westchester residents regarding the residency of 61-year-old Thomas Barnes, who has moved to a residence on South 7th Avenue in Mount Vernon.
The Division of Criminal Justice Services has assigned Barnes a Level 3 threat, which means he is a “high-risk repeat offender and possible threat to public safety.” He has also been designated as a sexually violent and predicate sex offender.
According to the Division of Criminal Justice Services, Barnes had sexual contact with his victim in May 2002, and he was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse the following February, when he was sentenced to a term of between one day and two years in state prison. He is now under the jurisdiction of the Mount Vernon City Police Department.
