FAILURE TO REGISTER
• The former Green Hill School counselor who was convicted for a sexual relationship with a student-inmate was charged today with failure to register as a sex offender. Erin Stiebritz, 38, had been registering with the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office and allegedly notified them on March 7 she was moving to Lewis County as of that day, according to charging documents. Detectives tried to contact her on Thursday at her new address, but she was not there. The following day she registered with the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office, but not within the three-day period required by statute, prosecutors allege. Stiebritz, also then known as Snodgrass, pleaded guilty to first-degree custodial sexual misconduct in mid-2016 for events that occurred two years earlier and was sentenced in Lewis County Superior Court to 14 days in jail plus 46 treatment sessions. A judge today allowed her release pending trial on a $10,000 unsecured bond. The new offense has a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
