Convicted sex offender, listed as homeless, to be released in Oneida County

A convicted sex offender from the Rhinelander area is set to be released from prison Tuesday without a fixed address. Skyler H. Sann, 29, will be living in Oneida County but will be listed as homeless upon his release, according to a press release issued by Oneida County sheriff's office Monday.

"The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may live," the release states. "The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office role is to provide information to the public in an attempt to ensure safe neighborhoods when a sex offender is released or transferred into the community in accordance with Wisconsin State Statute 301.46(2m)."
Sann will be monitored by the Department of Corrections Probation and Parole Office in Rhinelander in correlation with the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office Sex Offender-Monitoring Program. 
Sann was convicted in a 2020 Oneida County Case (2019CF151) of one count of possession of child pornography. In this case the Rhinelander Police Department was contacted after an individual located a cellular device that was owned by Sann with suspected child pornography on it. A search warrant was obtained and located on the device were various images of pubescent and prepubescent females in sexually explicit positions as well as performing various sex acts with adults. During a search of Sann’s residence a child-sized sex doll was also located by law enforcement, the release states. He is not a Lifetime Sex
Offender Registrant with a registration end date in 2041.  While on supervision, Sann is prohibited from having any unsupervised contact with minors. He must also comply with standard Sex Offender Rules, cooperate with electronic monitoring and comply with all requirements set in place for Registrants of the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry. It should be noted that according to Wisconsin law, a person on the sex offender registry can be released from prison without having a fixed address. However, homeless registrants must still comply with detailed weekly check-in and location-reporting requirements. Failure to register — even if homeless — can result in a felony charge.
