The Carson City Sheriff's Office advised Wednesday that a Tier III sex offender — the highest level — has registered and is now living in the area of Ramsey Circle in Carson City.
Steven Ray Glasgow, 43, was convicted in 1989 of second degree rape. The crime was committed in Oregon.
Glasgow is not wanted by the Carson City Sheriff's Office but was required under law to register with the Carson City Sheriff's Office and to provide community notification.
Nevada Revised Statute defines Tier III as the following:
