Original release: Predatory Sex Offender Shawn Cutler on Post-Prison Supervision

On Friday, September 12, 2014, Washington County expects the release of Shawn John Cutler from the Oregon State Penitentiary, and his subsequent transition to community supervision.

Mr. Cutler has adult criminal history dating back to 1987, including possession of controlled substances, sex offenses, kidnapping, burglary, robbery, and assaults. His sex offense convictions occurred in Multnomah County in the early 1990's and consist of Sex Abuse I, Attempt to Commit Sodomy I, Robbery II, and Intimidation II. The victims of his sexual offenses were non-relatives and these crimes involved an 18 year old male and females who were 16 years of age.

While he is in transition, Cutler will be residing temporarily at the Washington County Community Corrections Center, 260 SW Adams Avenue, Hillsboro, due to his homeless status and predatory designation.
