Oregon Sex Offender Arrested in Brownsville After Charming Downtown

Jeffrey Cutlip, known in downtown Brownsville as "Jessie" was arrested recently by an off-duty policeman who took the time to find out who the slick con artist really was.  Cutlip was released from prison 9/14/11 in Multnomah County, Oregon(Portland) after serving a sentence for forced sodomy on an adult female victim.  Cutlip was apparently in violation of several aspects of his parole which include electronic surveillance, geographic restrictions, sex offender treatment, plethysmograph testing and curfew.  He was also required to not frequent, work or volunteer at any place where minors congregate.  Last of all, he was required to register as a sex offender.

The soon-to-be-63 year old Cutlip was frequently seen in downtown Brownsville wearing a cap and scarf, carrying a guitar.  He regaled some young ones, portraying himself as a near rock legend who had played with some of the greatest.  Some Brownsvillians took it upon themselves to buy him food, clothing and other necessities.  Although he received an ample monthly disability check, Cutlip preferred homelessness, typically frequenting adult day care centers at the time meals were served.
