Sex Offender Released in Waukesha Following Prison Term

A 57-year-old convicted sex offender recently was released from prison and is residing at 1356 E. Moreland Blvd., according to a news release from Waukesha Police Sgt. John Konkol.

Herbert Eales’ probation was revoked in 2003 for a 1989 sexual assault and he was sentenced to prison for the sexual assaults of a female acquaintance when the girl was 14 and 16 years old, according to the news release and court documents.

Eales is to register for life with the sex offender registry. He is to have no unspervisoed contact with minors, no contact with alcohol-related establishments and no possession of alcohol or drugs. Eales also is to have no contact with the victim. He also is to cooperate with all sex offender rules and electronic monitoring, Konkol said in the release.

“Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; but it wasn't until Act 440 (June 1997) that law enforcement is now able to share this information with the community,” the news release states. “Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated.

“Please understand that such abuse could potentially end law enforcement's ability to do community notifications. We believe the only person who wins if community notification ends is the sex offender, since sex offenders derive their power through secrecy.”
