Jason M. Davidson will be released May 19 and will be placed in the intensive supervision program. He will be living in transitional housing near the Marathon County Courthouse and will be on a highly restricted schedule with time out in the community for work and treatment, police said.

Court records show Davidson was convicted in 1999 of sexual assault, along with a history of other, unrelated charges dating back to 1993. He has twice been convicted of violating the sex offender registry, most recently in November.

Davidson will be monitored by sex offender agent specialists and will be subject to GPS monitoring. He will be living in transitional housing near the Marathon County Courthouse and will be on a highly restricted schedule with time out in the community for work and treatment, police said. Current state law requires sex offenders to be released into the county in which they were convicted.

His ongoing address will be updated and available online by accessing the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry at www.widocoffenders.org.
