(TOLEDO, Ohio) – Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is asking for the public's help in locating a convicted sex offender who allegedly falsified his registration by providing an incorrect address.
Terrance Reid was convicted in July 1998 on a charge of Gross Sexual Imposition. His victim is listed as a juvenile girl, and upon his conviction a judge classified him as a habitual sex offender. Habitual sex offenders are required to register their address once a year for 20 years after they are released from prison.
Records show that Reid updated his registry information on July 24, 2012, by providing an address of 105 17th Street in Toledo. When deputies followed up to confirm Reid's living arrangements, documents indicate that Reid had not been staying at that address as required, and a warrant was issued for his arrest on July 30, 2012.
Reid is also listed as one of the U.S. Marshal's Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force's "Dangerous Dozen."
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Terrance Reid should contact the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) at 855-BCI-OHIO (855-224-6446). You can also submit a tip to the U.S. Marshals via text by sending the information to TIP411 (847411) with the keyword "Wanted."
This news release is part of Attorney General Mike DeWine's Crimes Against Children Initiative. As part of the Crimes Against Children Initiative, Attorney General DeWine will publicize convicted sex offenders who have victimized children and are wanted on outstanding warrants. Other parts of the initiative include the establishment of a Crimes Against Children Unit at BCI, creation of a rapid response team for crimes against children, and specialized law enforcement training through BCI and the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA).
