Convicted Child Sex Offender Added To Most Wanted List
NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Convicted child sex offender Dakota Marcus Stewart, 26, was added to the Texas 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders list for failure to register as a sex offender.
Stewart has ties to Tarrant County (including the cities of Mansfield, his last known address; Fort Worth; and Arlington) and Dallas. In 2009, Stewart was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by exposure after incidents in Tarrant County involving an 11-year-old girl and a 9-year-old girl.
Stewart stands 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 175 pounds. He has a tattoo on his left wrist and scars on his left hand, back, and face. He's known to provide false and fictitious information, including different names.
"If you know this individual, or you see this individual, we encourage everyone to notify law enforcement," said Lonny Haschel with DPS. "Never try to take any individual or apprehend a fugitive on your own."
