The Lynnwood Police Department scheduled a public meeting Wednesday, Oct. 19 at Meadowdale High School to notify the community of a registered sex offender living in the area. The meeting was scheduled after The Enterprise deadline.
According to a police announcement about the meeting, Danny Ross Giles, also known as Danny Magnett, is living in the 17000 block of 52nd Avenue W. Giles, 37, is 5-foot-11, weighs 230 pounds and has brown hair and eyes.
According to police, Giles pleaded guilty in June, 1987 in Snohomish County Superior Court to second-degree rape and first-degree burglary and was sentenced to 41 months in prison.
According to police, Giles’ victim was in a locked exercise room at an apartment complex and was in the locked tanning room. Giles had previously rendered the locks inoperative so that he could gain access to both rooms.
In October 2001, Giles was sentenced to nine months in jail after pleading guilty in King County Superior Court to first-degree criminal trespass. In that case, Giles had entered a tanning salon through an unlocked back door. The adult female victim was tanning in the locked tanning room when she looked up and saw Giles in the tanning room watching her.
Giles is not on active supervision and his only requirement at this time is to register as a sex offender.
Giles is not wanted by police at this time.
The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and the Lynnwood Police Department have no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may or may not live.
