Shawn D. Botner is a level 3 sex offender who was recently released from McNeill Island. Botner has a violent history of sexual assault and predatory behavior, according to Sgt. Terry Preuninger with the Spokane Police Department.<\/p>\n
Botner's classification level reflects the potential to reoffend. <\/p>\n
Botner was convicted of attempted rape in 1992, when he stalked and attacked a female student, strangling her with an electric cord and dragging her into a restroom, Preuninger said.<\/p>\n
In 2006 Botner was found to be in violation of his community custody agreement when Spokane police found him stalking a woman who worked at a local business and discovered he was in the Gonzaga area and on the centennial trail \"engaging in predatory behavior.\"<\/p>\n
He was found in possession of a bag containing women's clothing, sex toys, pornography, and a notebook containing hand written notes detailing plans for rape and murder, Preuninger said.<\/p>\n
