— Janesville police are notifying the public of a convicted sex offender’s release into the community from the Rock Valley Community Programs halfway house.

Kenneth G. Ashmore, 45, was released Monday from the Rock Valley facility between Beloit and Janesville, according to a Janesville police news release. He has established residence in the 400 block of South River Street.

Ashmore is white, 5-feet, 8-inches tall, 190 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes. He will be supervised by the Department of Corrections until May 2017 with the following restrictions:

-- No contact with minors

-- Cannot consume alcohol or illegal drugs

-- Life registration with the sex offender registry

-- Lifetime GPS monitoring

-- Subject to random visits by department of corrections

-- Must avoid schools, parks and daycare centers

Ashmore’s criminal history includes convictions of first-degree sexual assault of a child in 1995 and 1996. Ashmore assaulted three young girls—all of whom he knew—ranging in age from 7 to 10. Ashmore was sentenced to 20 years in state prison, of which he served 11 years.

I believe that pictures such as this are taken by a law enforcement official and released by the police not the Gazette.

Great point Hugh_Jass!

The Gazette is just trying to protect us all from the violent criminal lap dancers.

This guy, we probably don't need to see his photo very clearly. He served time and now has learned his lesson. Besides, there is very little chance of him being a repeat offender. (unlike those lap dancers!)

If you work at Screamin' Meemees and are ACCUSED of crimes (a lap dance?!?) then you get large clear pictures of yourself posted all over the Gazette. If you molest children and you're released to a community, you get a small picture of poor quality so it's more difficult for people to spot you. Glad to see the Gazette once again has their priorities straight. Keep up the good work!!!
