Back in 2019, Wynn was found guilty of sexual battery and gross sexual imposition on an adult with aggravating circumstances in North Dakota. This conviction is what designated Wynn a sexual offender in the state of Florida with registration requirements. As stated earlier he was arrested on Thursday for failing to comply with his reporting requirements. Honestly he should have never been released. They gave him an ankle monitor which he removed days later. Hopefully they catch him before he harms someone else. We have to work together as a community.
