Joliet Sex Offender, 82, On Plainfield Road Fails To Register: Glasgow

JOLIET, IL — An 82-year-old Joliet resident who happens to be one of the oldest registered sex offenders in the community is now facing new criminal charges from the Joliet Police Department. Detective Cris Gombosi filed last week's criminal complaint at the courthouse accusing William Roger Linden of failure to register as a sex offender in Joliet.

The complaint indicates that Linden, on June 25, failed to register in accordance with the provisions of the Sex Offender Registration Act as they apply to him, in that he failed to register yearly. Prosecutors noted that Linden is deemed a sexual predator.

According to Gombosi's warrant out for Linden's arrest, the 82-year-old's last known address is listed as unknown. When he was kept in the Will County Jail last year for about two months, his address was listed as the Bel-Air Motel at 1103 Plainfield Road.

The Illinois State Police website lists Linden as a non-compliant sexual offender. The state police still have him at the Bel-Air Motel in Joliet.

Linden is listed as a lifetime registrant who committed his crime of predatory criminal sexual assault in Texas when he was 56 years old and his victim was just only 4 years old.
