Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives are asking for help finding a homeless convicted sex offender who has failed to register.

Charles Lee Johnson, aka Chuck Johnson, is a Level III offender, the level deemed mostly likely to reoffend. He is not under supervision, but he has been missing for several months.

Johnson is described as a white man with gray hair and blue eyes. He is 74, 5-foot-8 and about 182 pounds.

He was convicted in 1993 of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes. That case stemmed from an incident involving a 2-year-old girl. He was convicted of indecent liberties in 1984 for an incident involving a 6-year-old girl. He also has been convicted of sex crimes in Oregon and California.

Johnson was released from the Special Commitment Center this past June.

There is a $50,000 warrant for his arrest. Detectives urge anyone who might know his whereabouts to call the 425-388-3845.
