A man who was convicted four times of sex crimes has been released from the Clark County Jail and is living at 11201 N.E. 12th Ave. in Hazel Dell.

Phillip Anthony Wilde, 51, is classified as a Level 3 sex offender, the group deemed most likely to commit new sex crimes, according to a bulletin from the Sex Offender Registration Unit of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

He was convicted of public indecency in Oregon in 1980 and 1981, for exposing himself to a female in a parking structure and another riding a bicycle, the bulletin said. The victims’ ages weren’t given.

In 1983, he was convicted of criminal sexual penetration of a 9-year-old girl in Bernalillo County, N.M.

In Jackson County, Ore., in 1992, he was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse of a 3-year-old girl.

In 2000 and again this year, in Clark County, he was convicted of failure to register as a sex offender, the bulletin said.
