Jay Baker

     The Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public that a Level 3 (high risk to re-offend) Sex Offender has moved to Baxter County from Oklahoma and has registered with the Sheriff’s Office.

NAME:                       JAY BAKER           

DATE OF BIRTH:   03/22/1981

ADDRESS:                188 CR 900
                                    Midway, Arkansas 72651

     The offender was convicted of Rape, Sexual Abuse in the First Degree (3 counts), and Sexual Solicitation of a Child (4 counts) on 04/27/2001.  These offenses involved the offender engaging in sexual behavior with four children he was babysitting, ages 2 – 8.

     This person is not wanted by law enforcement at this time.  This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.  This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate, or harass Registered Sex Offenders.  Citizen abuse will not be tolerated.  Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to do community notification.
