Pawlus was again convicted in 2018 in Ohio of Illegal Use of a Minor in Nudity Oriented Material or Performance and served an additional five months and 28 days behind bars. He recently relocated and reports his address is 2130 Boca Chica Avenue in North Port.

This information is posted on the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office website, agency Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts to publicly notify citizens of sexual offenders and predators who register a Sarasota County address for the first time, when moving into the county or following release from prison. Citizens should still sign up to receive notifications from FDLE of sex offenders and predator registrations.
