Convicted child molester Hunt registers Yavapai County address

Sedona AZ (May 14, 2013) – The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office is required to release the following information pursuant to ARS 13-3825, the Community Notification on Sex Offenders Law. The sex offender in this publication has indicated that he will be living in the unincorporated area of Yavapai County. It is the responsibility of the Chief Law Enforcement Office having jurisdiction where the offender resides to make notification to the community. Notification must be made when certain sex offenders are released from Arizona State prison, accepted under an interstate compact or released from the county jail back into the community.

Offenders are categorized into three levels: Level One (low risk to the community), Level Two (intermediate risk to the community) and Level Three (high risk to the community).

Sex offender 70-year-old James Lee Hunt has been convicted of a sex offense which allows for community notification. He has advised the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office that he will be living at 1675 North Javalina Trail, Dewey, Arizona 86327.

Sex offender Hunt is not wanted by the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office at this time.

Hunt was convicted of Sexual Conduct with a Minor and Molestation of a Child in 2009 in Maricopa County Superior Court. The victims were under the age of 15 when the crimes occurred between 1999 and 2006.

Sex offender Hunt is currently on probation. He is considered a Level Three (High) risk.

This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is the Sheriff’s Office belief that an informed community is a safer community. CITIZEN ABUSES OF THIS INFORMATION TO THREATEN, INTIMIDATE OR HARASS SEX OFFENDERS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
