The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office wants residents to know a level three registered sex offender is newly listed as living homeless in Lewis County.
Fauzi Bin Zain, 27, got in trouble at age 17 and served his time for the crime, according to the sheriff’s office. He had engaged in sexual intercourse with a 12-year-old girl, pleaded guilty and was convicted of second-degree rape of a child, according to sheriff’s detective Brad Borden.
In 2007, Zain was convicted for failure to register as a sex offender, and was released from prison back into Lewis County on Wednesday, according to the sheriff’s office.
Public notification of where registered sex offenders reside is intended to enhance public safety, according to the sheriff’s office.
