The Tennessee Sexual Offender Registry is divided in DeKalb County as follows: 

Smithville – 33

Alexandria – 4

Liberty – 9

Dowelltown – 6

 

TOTAL OF SEXUAL OFFENDERS FOUND IN DEKALB COUNTY:  52

 

 

 

In choosing the total characteristics composite outlining the medium sex offender registry, it would be: sex:  male (only 3 females):  age: 50-60 years old; race: white; height: under 6 feet (very short); weight: around 199 pounds; with brown eyes and an extremely violent personality geared toward flagrant child abuse.  The above addresses were derived from the offender’s location at the time of the criminal sexual incident. 

 

The logo and statement located at the end of the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry internet pagre reads, “That guilt shall not escape, nor innocence suffer.”

 

“No representation is made that the persons listed here are currently on the state's sex offender’s registry. All names presented here were gathered at a past date.
