The Police Department is releasing the following information pursuant to ARS 13-3825, the Community Notification of Sex Offenders Law. The offender is living in Prescott Valley.

On Oct. 8, 2010, in Yavapai County, Cook was convicted of three counts of sexual abuse and sentenced to lifetime probation. The victim was a 14-year-old female known to the offender. On Feb. 13, 2012, Cook violated his probation and was sentenced to 15 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections. Police stated he is currently on lifetime probation, and is considered a Level 2, intermediate risk.
“This notification is not intended to increase fear, rather it is our belief that an informed community is a safer community.
