JANESVILLE — Sex offender Eugene W. Vahlenkamp was scheduled to be released from prison today and begin living at Rock Valley Community Programs, 203 W. Sunny Lane, between Janesville and Beloit.

He must comply with standard sex offender rules, wear a Global Position System bracelet, have regular face-to-face contact with law enforcement and be a lifetime registrant of the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registration Program.

Vahlenkamp is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighs 295 pounds, has gray hair, brown eyes and wears glasses. He has scars on his upper chest, lower left arm and upper left hip.
