Police Searching for Missing Sex Offender

U.S. Marshals Service and are searching for a convicted sex offender who lived in the area, but hasn’t reported his residential address in nearly two years.

Authorities on March 14 filed charges against 34-year-old Raemone Hollins with two felony counts of failing to comply with registration rules as a sex offender.

Scott Township police Sgt. Jeff Skees said authorities do not know where he is and are asking for the public to contact authorities with any information on his location. Skees said the U.S. Marshals Service approached the township police department when analysts there noticed he hadn’t registered since July 19, 2010, even though he’s required to do so annually or when he moves to a new residence.

Hollins pleaded guilty to charges of statutory rape, corruption of minors, aggravated assault and indecent assault in 1998.

Skees said investigators went to his last known residence in the 1600 block of Berkwood Drive on March 12 and talked to a friend of Hollins who still is living there. The man told police Hollins no longer lives there, but did not know where he moved. He gave investigators a phone number, but police said they have not been able to reach Hollins.

Skees said the U.S. Marshals Service is handling the case, but needed Scott Township to file charges at the local level to initiate the search.

According to the Pennsylvania State Police Megan’s Law website, Hollins is a black man, stands 6-feet, 2-inches, weighs about 200 pounds and has brown eyes. He also has tattoos on both of his arms, according to the Megan’s Law website.
