Fifty-two year old Stoney Allen Lane was convicted of sexual battery in Florida, and spent a little more than seven years in jail.
He is also considered a sexually violent predator.
"It's someone who is at a high risk to re-offend," says Harrison County Prosecutor Joe Shaffer. "Someone who committed a sexually violent crime in a violent manner."
Now, it's up to local law enforcement to talk to the public. They've scheduled a town hall meeting later this month.
Shaffer says the meeting is all about educating the community. For example, he says some parents don't know they can use their computers to log onto the sex offender registry.
"It's to help people understand and make them more aware he's in the community."
John Board is a member of West Virginia CAPP, or Child Abduction Prevention Program. His group was instrumental in adding the street addresses of offenders to the website.
"With that addition, you have more information now on where the individuals live," Board says.
Lane lives in an apartment building on West Pike Street, next door to Adamston Elementary School. But Shaffer says this information is simply to warn neighbors. He doesn't want anyone to take the law into their own hands.
"He has served his time," Shaffer says. "He's here, and the meeting is to help people deal with that."
The meeting is scheduled for June 27, at 6:30, in the Robert C. Byrd High School Auditorium.
