Sex Offender Discovered Working at Catholic School
TOLEDO — Lucas County Sheriff’s deputies have found a sex offender who’s been “missing” for quite some time. They say he’s been working at a Toledo parish and school — for years.
Five years ago, 60-year-old William Werner was a sex offender looking for work. He found it at as a part-time cleaner at St. Joan of Arc Parish.
Parish representatives have told deputies Werner did a good job at the church and also helped clean the school. The Catholic Diocese of Toledo says when the parish hired Werner, no one knew of his past.
It wasn’t until last week, when officers in California checked on Werner’s whereabouts, that the parish discovered he had committed sex crimes against a 13-year-old girl. He was convicted in 1989, released 10 years later and then came to Toledo.
