Sex Offender Arrested in Toledo for Failing to Register

Posted

Deputies with the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday arrested a sex offender in Toledo for allegedly failing to register his address. 

Aaron J. Eidet, 20, was arrested on suspicion of failing to register as a sex offender. 

Eidet most recently registered as a transient level 1 sex offender in Thurston County, but police learned he was actually living in Toledo. He was arrested at an address in the 400 block of state Route 506 in Toledo.

“I was going to register,” Eidet said in court Tuesday at his first appearance after his arrest. 

Defense attorney Rachael Tiller told the court Eidet had a job and residence lined up and believed he was in compliance with his registration requirements. 

According to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office, Eidet is required to register as a sex offender due to a conviction on one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child in Saline County, Kansas. He was accused of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl when he was 17.

Lewis County Prosecutor Jonathan Meyer asked for $100,000 bail, noting that Eidet was convicted twice last year of failing to register as a sex offender. 

Superior Court Judge Joely O’Rourke set bail at $50,000.
