The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services issued an alert this week to Dutchess residents regarding the residency of 53-year-old Shane Bower, who has moved to an apartment on Route 44 in Pleasant Valley.
The Division of Criminal Justice Services has assigned Bowers as a level two threat, which means he is at "moderate risk of a repeat offense."
According to the Division of Criminal Justice Services, Bowers had "deviate sexual intercourse" with a 14-year-old girl in July 1991. He was convicted of third-degree rape in November of that year and sentenced to five years probation. He is now under the jurisdiction of the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office.
