Virginia State Police are hoping someone in the Augusta County region can help locate a wanted sex offender. William Preston Perry, 62, was convicted in October 1995 in the City of Staunton Circuit Court for aggravated sexual battery involving a juvenile. He is currently wanted by state police for failing to re-register with the Virginia Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry.
Mandated to register on the Sex Offender Registry since 1997, Perry’s last renewal was in April 2000. His family tells Virginia State Police that he was last seen by them in 2002. Perry’s last known address was at a family member’s residence in Augusta County. He has also lived at various locations in Staunton. He has been known to work construction jobs.
Perry is a black male weighing about 230 pounds and 6 feet 2 inches tall.
The U.S. Marshals and Virginia State Police have been searching for Perry for several years. Anyone with information concerning his whereabouts is asked to please contact the Virginia State Police Area Office in Staunton at 540-885-2142 or email the investigating trooper at [email protected].
