1999 Venture Van - Wisconsin Registration 317MMC

1999 Venture Van - Wisconsin Registration 317MMC

— Local police have added a sense of urgency to their attempt to keep tabs on a convicted sex offender who is accused of violating a bond condition by possessing a knife.

“There are a lot of sex offenders in the community, but this individual is of particular concern,” Deputy Police Chief David Moore said this morning of Daniel D. Anderson, 59.

The reason is that when local police arrested Anderson recently on a charge of felony bail-jumping, they found a knife, handcuffs and pornography in his vehicle, a red 1999 Chevrolet Venture minivan with the Wisconsin license plate 317 MMC.

The bail had been imposed because Anderson had been arrested in Beloit last summer on a felony charge of failing to update his lifetime registration with the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry.

Anderson is not subject to any police or parole supervision, but he must keep his registration current, Moore said.

Anderson was released from the Rock County Jail after making bail April 12, so he has until April 22 to inform authorities of his address, Moore said.

Anderson is not currently wanted for any crime, but police do not know where he is living.

In 1977 while employed as a teacher, Anderson took a 16-year-old female student to a motel room, knocked her out with a blow to the head and sexually assaulted her, Janesville police reported.

In 1990, Anderson had sexual intercourse with a 6-year-old female acquaintance.

And in 1997 while on parole, Anderson approached two girls, ages 8 and 10, forced the children into his car and drove for several minutes before releasing the children, police reported.

Anderson is described as white, 5-foot-11, 260 pounds with blue eyes and gray hair. He frequents both Janesville and Beloit areas and has been seen near schools, police said.

While Anderson is free to travel the community, Moore said, anyone observing him should be careful and report any suspicious activity by calling 911.

As far as the Beloit address...on Saturday we were leaving my boyfriends and drove past and he was outside with the back of the van opened. It looked like he was either cleaning it out or packing it up or he had been living in it. It was a mess! Then on Wednesday we were leaving Beloit and drove past and the van was parked in the driveway again. So sad, our daughters wanted to play at the park at Telfer and we wouldn't allow it since this guy is in the neighborhood. However, it made me think, guys like this could be anywhere out there. We live in Clinton and although I feel safe here, I still will not let my daughter outside alone to play.

beachsexton, great comments and questions! I was surprised to have heard nothing more about this sex offender as well.

It is no longer on the "popular discussion" list, so perhaps the community is absent-minded. Or perhaps they've given up on the courts/DA office/law enforcement actually doing something progressive and helpful for this community by taking this criminal off the streets.

No one seems to care about this guy any more. They would rather rack up the entries in the 8lbs of pot story than worry about a guy that is a class 3 sex offender, who just so happens to live within a block of a school at every address he has attempted to claim. The people that can create the most noise about this guy choose to blow up the blogs at any whiff of a story on the personal use of weed. Nothing they say will matter in the end. It is a complete waste of their time. Is this what they mean by society letting its guard down? Shouldn't we be demanding more of our courts, legislatures, and 'the system' that allows a convinced sex offender of this nature to run free? Is it too much to ask that a man (used lightly) like this refrain from living within a block of a school at all of his three "reported" addresses since he was let out? Is it too much to ask that he not drive a tinted out minivan when bus services are available? Is it too much to ask that he refrain from driving around with porn, a knife, and handcuffs; in his tinted out minivan with fold down seats? I hope the readers are not too high that they forget to talk to their kids about being aware of their surroundings, and what to do in the event someone with these tendencies attacks. I hope they are not too high and forget to watch their kids. Let's just hope they do not have one of their children swiped from the front yard while they are blogging about how pot should be legalized.

my question is: why is he free to travel in the community when he has been identified as breaking the conditions of his probation/bond? seems to me that, once again, the law is on the side of the offender rather than the victims of these crimes.

Don't be fooled by the Sunshine address. They had that address prior to JPD being "interested" (not enough to act on a call from the spotter at the pizza joint) in locating this man. I would like the Gazette to follow up and let us know if he reported his address by yesterdays deadline. If not, I would expect a front page story letting people he is wanted. If he did report, then I would hope someone would follow up to be sure it is not another UPS post office box being used as a front. Where the handcuffs, knife, and porn returned to this guy when he left jail last week? Looking at some of the stories in the Gazette today and yesterday, I would think this would be a interesting story to dig into.

Nice! Urgh. The sad thing is....I am sure there are many more individuals running around that are much more dangerous than this guy. We need to be thankful that the gazette and the police have made this information public and have opened a door of oportunity to talk to our children about "Stranger Danger". I am almost certain this guy will be a headline in the near future of being attacked in some way with all his information out there... and I can't say I will be sad about it....Hopefully the publicity of his acts will make him go into suclusion..but I doubt it.

How is he able to live at that address on Sunshine in Beloit, thats near an elementary school. Are these judges retarded? Wasn't he seen near schools with a knife and handcuffs in his van? He doesn't need his van anymore he can just go across the street to pick up kids as they get out of school and take them to his house. I hope to God I don't ever see him near my house or my childrens school because it won't be the police that he'll have to worry about!

I am disgusted with our courts/judges who let these guys out to wander our streets. If it were a loved one of theirs that this guy had raped you can bet they would see to it that he was behind bars for longer. If the Sunshine address is correct; this creep lives down the street from my boyfriend and right by Telfer park! I will have to check the address and the license plate # the next time I drive by.

I happened to see this piece of work at Little Caesar's on Milwaukee St. (next to Family Video) last Friday. His van is packed full and looks as though he's living in it. We called the police and they said as long as he's not talking to children or hanging out in a park, they can't come get him. Hopefully the address he's given is legit so he can be accounted for.

"There is a guy on death row in Louisiana (I think) for raping his 8 year old step-daughter and this guy got OUT in 7 years?"-Janesvillemom

I never read this that she was saying the guy in Louisianna was out. I read the point being LA puts them on death row and Wisconsin lets them go in 6 years. I think most people reading this CAREFULLY would read it the way she intended.

Janesvillemom...that guy in Lousianna is Patrick Kennedy, and he's on Death Row. He's recently filed (and been granted cert) an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the legality of Louisiana's law of putting one on death row for rape of a child. HE IS NOT out. He is waiting to hear the USSC's decision.
In the future, check your comments before posting them. If you haven't read the comments on this page, please do so in their entirety. FEAR runs rampant through this blog. I'm not only a resident of Janesville, but also a mother. This story is disturbing to say the least, but am I going to be afraid to let my son live his life? NOPE. I'll be the first one to say that there are dangerous people out there, but I fail to believe that this is a "new" thing. Does anyone really believe that there weren't just as many predators ten, twenty, or thirty years ago? I'll guarantee you that there were. There was not, however, as much media attention. Although providing an important resource by informing our community about the potential dangers posted by these predators, our media, television especially, focuses on these stories to such a large degree that it is no wonder that the majority of parents want to buy a bubble to house their kids. I'm not saying that it isn't an issue! But, I grew up here in Janesville down by Dawson Field. I spent the majority of my time outside; building "forts", exploring the railroad track, and walking to Lions Beach (without an adult after I turned 10). I'm still here. The only scars I bear from childhood are from a nasty spill on my neighbors BMX. I'll bet my childhood story isn't that different from others in Janesville, and I'll bet that they are still here, & have similar scars. Don't be afraid to raise your kids. Don't keep them from their childhood. One of the best ways to ensure your childs safety is to get to know your neighbors, and arm your kids with common sense before sending them out into the world.

It's easy, cheap, efficient, and if enough people were to participate, it could very well make a difference. You criticize, yet you offer nothing in return.

Chrysallis:"Showing up in court demanding tougher sentencing is not even remotely practical for most people. If what you say is true, that Rock County judges are lenient toward sexual offenders, specifically pedophiles, wouldn’t it be more realistic to request that people send letters and/or e-mails to these judges demanding tougher sentencing? I would send an e-mail or letter every day to the judges in Rock County if it would help make a difference and protect our children."

Chrysallis - Big surprise: The judges do not read their paper mail. If we are lucky, their secretaries read it and just because the secretaries do, does not mean that the judges will. If you are hell-bent on sending e-mails, as most of us would be happy to oblige to, to protect our children, please notify us of the e-mail addresses to these judges. I'm sure that they'd be willing to read e-mails as much as they would their own paper mail.

You are right, showing up in court is not practical for some.

When you see a court case coming up, find out who is the judge and write him! Let him know that you are watching and are reading what kind of sentences these perps are getting. And VOTE when a Judge is consistently not given stiff sentences for against our children!

I was with RoseyPots until I saw peppermeisters comment. My idea is more along the lines of a micro-chip sized GPS inserted where the sun don't shine. (Any inventors out there?) Prompty inserted, under the 3-times and your out rule. (I know 3-times is too many). Does anyone think this lack of justice also might come from over crowding in jails? Maybe we need to start weeding out the bottom feeders and death-row inmates, then maybe we would have room for this piece of *&^%. I think there are far too many death-row inmates still being fed and too much of this crap walking around.

His prior address was a storefront? 2811 Milton Ave is the strip mall north of Ground Round, where there is a business that rents mailboxes, etc. I had assumed that RSOs were required to register a physical/domicile address. I wonder where he was actually located?

RoseyPots - As far as other locations for the GPS, I figured being the sick puppy that he is that he might actually like that other option, and if it is around his neck then the public can see it - and run the other way.

How did he buy a car? Being in prison for so long would eliminate a job. A record like that should also eliminate most jobs now that he is out. How does one go about buying a vehicle like this prior to having a valid license? How do they pay for registration, license, gas, or insurance? I agree with the previous comments questioning the appropriateness of a tinted out minivan for this person. Maybe he needs a NEV car. That would keep him W/I 50 miles of an electrical outlet, be easy to spot (stand out), keep speeds down (no high speed get-aways), and be so small that no kids could inadvertently 'go for a ride'. Plus, who tints a electric neighborhood vehicle? (I say that with sarcasm. You never know these days, with coffee-can mufflers and all)

Last fall I was in the D.A's office with a victim of a sexual crime. The D.A. told us "Don't expect much as far as punishment, in this area (Rock County) sexual predators and sexual crimes get lenient sentences." I asked him how we could correct that grave mistake! He said, it boils down to the judges. He also said that we as the public, show the judges what matters to us. When a cat is kicked in this community the court room is full, when a child is hurt or molested very few show up.

So he said, as "Booner" who wrote below stated:

1. Judges and D.A.'s are elected positions, it IS more important then you know.

And....

2. Show up to court when a child is molested, it shows the judges THAT WE ARE SICK OF THIS.

We have evil people walking among us. They are known to be dangerous by the authorities. Many have gotten away with murder, literally. Most of them get caught time and time again doing both minor and major crimes. When processed by the criminal justice system, they very often get relatively insignificant penalties even for third and fourth offences and even for serious crimes. The criminal justice system, particularly some judges, have justice as a secondary consideration. They are more concerned with their personal opinions of fairness, and of expressing their compassion. They do not concern themselves with what a criminal might do when he serves out his often all too short sentence. I noticed that in election after election for judges at all levels and legislature positions, the candidates all claim that they will be much tougher on criminals than their opponent’s. The ones who give these light sentences never brag about how compassionate they have been toward convicts. It is up to each one of us to look at a candidate’s record, and ignore his campaign material. If we don’t demand justice, we won’t get it.

Sit down and make a list of all things near and dear to your heart, and the ask yourselves what you can do now, not after the fact, to make sure you are not in this basically same, helpless situation again.
Learn to be pro-active instead of re-active.
Get involved now. Volunteer, contact your legislators, vote. Or, forever hold your peace.

I found this on WCCA, current address as of 4/15 2811 Milton Ave. current court/charges, 3/25 fine for inattentive driving, 4/1 charge of bail jumping, disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon. 4/2 charge of use of fraud to obtain operators license and bail jumping. 4/7 charge of carrying a concealed weapon and bail jumping. Bail was set at $200.00 which he paid and got out. He is due in court 4/17 on current charges of bail jumping, carrying a concealed weapon, disorderly conduct and the fraud and has a jury trail set for 5/21 for sex offender fail/update info.
What I am confused about is if the Dell's/Lake Dalton police are looking for him for questioning then why did Rock county let Anderson out on $200.00 bail? Something is not right there. One would think that if another county is looking for a suspect in a case then one would think that the police who arrested him would have him transferred for questioning. The other is why was his bail set so low when they know he is a repeat offender? Again makes no sense. This guy needs to be put away and never be allowed to live in society again.

luckee10: The legal system sucks. I had a cousin who lived in Aurora and was murdered by some woman. Her throat was slit, she was stabbed multiple times and the woman wrote profanity all over my aunt's walls with my cousin's blood. She even showed up at my cousin's funeral (before she was a suspect) and told my aunt that the funeral home did a good job making my cousin look nice considering she had been stabbed so many times. Anyway, she was found guilty, served three to four years, appealed the ruling and got off due to a technicality (her lawyer somehow got some of the evidence against her thrown out). Of course, she cannot be tried again because of the whole "double jeopardy" thing.

Am I clear he was in violation of bail, so the courts released him on bond?

THIS NEEDS TO BE ON BILLBOARDS EVERY OTHER SIGN CHANGE AT THE LEAST!

He is a suspect in the Dells area, found in posession of 'tools of the trade', in violation of bail, and a noncomplying sex offender. It is obsurd that he could have ever been allowed to live in the motel on Racine St next to a Dairy Queen (kids frequent) and a block from one school, and a few block from another.

Did anyone else read the article about the "ringleader" of the Footville bank robbery? I am completely baffled as to why he got sentenced to 14.5 years, this pervert is able to "have sex" with a six year old child and be out in 7 years. I guess I just don't get our justice system, the problem being that I don't see the justice!

I know there are 2 officers that live within two blocks of my child's school so I feel comfort in that. I also told my child under no circumstances to walk home. She is to go back to the office and have her Dad or I called to pick her up.

ok first of all why is this parasite out of prison?what is wrong with this picture? the p people he assaulted must be terrified, thosse poor children and their families. what the hell is wrong with this system, this man should be locked up for the rest of his life. what was the court system thinking when they sentence him, oh excuse me, they werent. we have digital billboards let put them to more good use, flash his picture on them continuously, so it is imbedded in everyones mind. now whats going to happen is he wil reoffend, he has before, and angry parent is going to seriously hurt this man or kill him and then guess who the system will give life in prison to. you guessed right. and as for you BEATIE i commend you for saying you would actually sit in jail or prison to get this scum off the street, you are truly concerned with the welfare of the children, because apparently rock county or the state of wisconsin isnt.

I think we should follow Louisiana's example. Rape of a child under 12 gets the death penalty. I know there are three other states that have similar or the same law.

How does he get out in 7 years after raping a 6 year old??? The article says "having intercourse with" but how can they call it that...NO WAY can a 6 year old be considered "consenting"! There is a guy on death row in Louisiana (I think) for raping his 8 year old step-daughter and this guy got OUT in 7 years? I'm against the death penalty for any crime, but raping a child should be minimum 25-life, that poor child wasn't even an adult before they let him free! Outrageous!

Here's a thought. Not many of us are happy with this war in Iraq. As felons, these criminals (and all other felons) are not allowed to vote or carry weapons. Well, let's try this: all child abusers, rapists, murderers, etc (aka the scumbags of the earth) should be told their sentences will be forgiven but they need to go for a ride. Load them up in airplanes and send them overseas to fight. Might be considered a bit over the top, but it would certainly release alot of anxiety in America's societies.

Sannio, I agree. How many children have to be hurt by repeat offenders before the laws are changed to keep them behind bars. The recidivism rate for sex offenders is extremely high. Most forms of "treatment" don't have proven track records. At the very least, after being let out they should be under some form of monitoring.

This is a good issue for people to get wound up about. Repeated violations of this nature are serious, and this person should be kept away from the public for life. The idea is to change the law, not form a lynch mob.

My daughter brought home, two weeks ago, information provided to her school by JPD concerning this individual. Unfortunately, the information was not shared with my oldest daughters school. I gladly passed that release from the school over to parents and staff at the middle school. In the release, a residence was listed for the individual and it sickens me that it is in such close proximity to a school. Please parents, show your child this picture and have them take note of the van and license number. Encourage them, that if they have to walk home or to a friends house, they DO NOT go alone.
