Sophb14 46 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 A convicted child sex offender working as a volunteer monster at a charity haunted house was uncovered when he removed his mask to calm frightened children and an alert dad recognized him, according to a criminal complaint.Andy W. Hawthorne, 36, of West Bend was charged Thursday in Washington County Circuit Court with two counts of being a child sex offender working with children and one count of sex offender registry violation, all felonies, according to a criminal complaint.According to the complaint, Hawthorne started working as a volunteer at the Hartford Jaycees' Dwelling of Despair, 620 Baehring Drive in Slinger, on Oct. 3.The house is advertised as being a "less scary experience geared toward children." But Sunday, Hawthorne, wearing his monster mask, jumped out from behind a wall in an outdoor maze attached to the house and frightened two children, ages 5 and 7.Hawthorne quickly removed the mask and was then recognized by the children's father — an off-duty law enforcement officer — as a registered sex offender.While the off-duty officer was at the haunted house with his children, about 90 minutes, he saw about 15 children between the ages of 5 and 10 walk through.The father reported Hawthorne to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, which contacted Slinger police and informed them that Hawthorne was prohibited from working or volunteering around children younger than 16.Officials with the Hartford Jaycees confirmed Hawthorne worked at the haunted house as a volunteer. However, Hawthorne did not report any employment or volunteer work to the sex offender registry within 10 days as required.When contacted by Slinger police, Hawthorne admitted volunteering at the haunted house and indicated he did so to fulfill a 25-hour community service requirement. He denied receiving written notice that listed prohibitions for working with children and said a police officer who reported that the notice was issued to him was lying.And when shown paperwork that he initialed as a requirement for his release from prison that listed the prohibition, he said it was not his writing and denied signing anything, according to the complaint. In 2002 Hawthorne was convicted of second-degree sexual assault of a child and placed on both the sex offender registry and eight years of probation, which was revoked in 2004, according to the registry and state court records.He was then sentenced to two years in prison and seven years on extended supervision, according to the court records.
