Sex Offender Lied About Address While Living in Falls, Complaint Says

A convicted sex offender was living in a Menomonee Falls apartment for a year and a half without updating his address with the Department of Corrections, according to a criminal complaint filed in Waukesha County Circuit Court.

Printiss D. Deese, 50, was charged Friday with sex registry violation. If convicted, he faces up to three years in prison.

Deese was convicted in 1993 of second degree sexual assault of a child in Milwaukee County. He was required to register as a sex offender and update Wisconsin Department of Corrections with address changes.

However, on April 30, he reported he was homeless and staying at 20th and State streets in Milwaukee. His neighbors, however, reported he was living on Fond du Lac Avenue in Menomonee Falls for a year and a half, according to a criminal complaint.

Deese was jailed for six months in 2006 after he was convicted of a similar sex offender registry violation.

He currently is facing prosecution on domestic abuse charges, including strangulation and suffocation, from a March 28 incident. Court records show Deese told court officials in March he was living on Fond du Lac Avenue in Menomonee Falls.
