RHINELANDER – A sex offender will be released to community supervision in Rhinelander Aug. 23. Timothy S. Henk, 60, will be living at 17 W. Prospect Street.

Henk was convicted of kidnapping/seize or confine without consent and second degree sexual assault/use of force in January 2001. His victim was a 29-year old female out for a walk along a country road.

Henk will be monitored by the Department of corrections, Probation and Parole Division and local police; and is required to be registered with the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry for life. He is listed as 5 feet, 11 inches tall, weighting approximately 181 pounds, brown hair and hazel eyes.
