A public meeting about the release of a sex offender has been scheduled for 7 p.m., April 24 in the Lynnwood Municipal Court located on the second floor at 19321 44th Ave. W. in Lynnwood.

Kevin Corning has advised the Lynnwood Police Department and the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office that he will be living in the 5600 block of 183rd St. SW. in Lynnwood.

Corning, 39, is 5-foot-10 and weighs 190 pounds and has brown eyes and brown hair.

The individual has been convicted of a sex offense that requires registration with authorities in the county of his residence. Further, his previous criminal history places him in a classification level, which reflects the potential to re-offend. The sex offender has served the sentence imposed on him by the courts.

The Lynnwood Police Department is releasing the following information pursuant to RCW 4.24.550 and the Washington State Supreme Court Decision in State v. Ward, which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex offenders release, when, in the discretion of the agency, the release of information will enhance public safety and protection.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and the Lynnwood Police Department have no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may or may not live. Unless court ordered restrictions exist, this offender is constitutionally free to live wherever he chooses.

According to official documents, in 2004, Corning was convicted of having sexual relations with a 15-year-old female who was known to him. He was previously convicted of having sexual relations with two other minor-aged females. The victims in that case were 12 and 15 years of age. During the course of the investigation other potential victims were disclosed.
