BLOOMER  —  A 34-year-old man convicted in 2005 of second degree child sexual assault in Pepin County will be released from the Stanley Correctional Institution October 19 and will be living at 1914 Queen Street, Bloomer.

Paul L. Clement is described as being 5’8” tall, 175 pounds, with brown hair (balding), brown eyes and with scars on his forehead, according to a news release from the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department.

Upon his release, Clement will no longer be under the direct supervision of the Department of Corrections but will be mandated to comply with all requirements and is a lifetime registrant of the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registration Program.

Clement was convicted of second-degree sexual assault of a child in October of 2005, and his victims included teenaged female acquaintances, according to the news release.

Information about Clement or any other lifetime sex offender registrant is available at the sex registry website at www.doc.wi.gov.

According to online court records, Clement pleaded guilty to one Class C felony of the second-degree sexual assault of a child on October 24, 2005.

A second felony count of second-degree child sexual assault was dismissed but read into the record for sentencing. A misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor also was dismissed but read into the record for sentencing.

In a separate case, Clement was charged with another felony count of second-degree sexual assault of a child that was dismissed but read into the record for sentencing. Two additional counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child were dismissed as well but read into the record for sentencing.

In December of 2005, Clement was sentenced to three years in state prison and seven years of extended supervision, according to online court records.

In August of 2009, extended supervision was revoked in Pepin County Circuit Court after Clement pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana.
