Sex offender update for Battle Ground

Adam Leigh Nile, who forcibly raped a 10-year-old neighbor girl when he was 15, is living in the 29800 block of Northeast 82nd Avenue in Battle Ground.

Nile, 25, is classified as a Level 3 sex offender, the group considered most likely to commit new sex crimes, according to a bulletin from the Sex Offender Registration Unit of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

Nile has been convicted of first-degree rape of a child, the 10-year-old girl; and, six years later, two counts of third-degree rape of a child, a 14-year-old girl, the bulletin said.

In a departure from previous practice, the bulletin did not give Nile’s exact address. He is described as white, 5 feet 9 inches tall and 140 pounds. His eyes and hair are brown.

Recently released from prison, he is not being sought by police. He’s monitored by the sheriff’s unit and the state Department of Corrections.

Once convicted sex offenders serve their prison term and are released, by law they can live wherever they want, unless there is a court order, the bulletin said.

The Columbian’s policy is to publish a story and photo when Level 3 sex offenders move to Clark County, or change addresses or become homeless here.
