Michael David Simpson - Sexually Violent Predator

Fort Morgan police will host a community meeting Thursday, Jan. 2, on a sexually violent predator moving into the area.

The meeting is scheduled at 7 p.m. at the Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer, 1100 W. Platte Ave.

State law requires such a meeting when a sex offender classified as a sexually violent predator moves into a community.

The man moving into the area is Michael David Simpson, 49, who is living at 505 Euclid St.

He was convicted of rape and classified as a sex offender, which required him to register. He was later discharged and subsequently reclassified as a sexually violent predator.

At meetings involving sexually violent predators, residents are reminded that they are not to harass the subject. The meetings are intended to be informational only and alert residents to the presence of such a person in the community.
