The Database


A convicted child molester was found hiding under a child’s bed last month, according to police in Bettendorf, Iowa.

However, police added charges after they learned that Skipper, a registered sex offender, had failed to notify authorities of his change of address, and omitted that he had been living for about a month in the apartment, which was also home to two children, ages 5 and 10.

The paper reported at the time:

Police say he jumped on the pregnant girl’s stomach Feb. 21 after he had taken her to a Cedar Rapids hospital for a pregnancy test within the previous week. The girl was reported as a runaway by her mother Feb. 16.

Skipper is accused of having the girl perform a sex act in July 2006, according to a court affidavit. His relationship to the girl was unclear Thursday.
