YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KSWT, FOX 9) - Anthony Simpson was released from prison in August after serving a seven-year sentence for sexual abuse.

Simpson is living at 11412 S. Renee Avenue.

The 25-year-old was convicted of sexual abuse in February 2014. The alleged victim was an 11-year-old girl who he knew at the time.

Simpson was sentenced to 7 years in prison, with 206 days already served in Yuma County Superior Court.

Simpson is under community supervision, but he is not wanted by the Yuma County Sheriff's Office (YCSO).

YCSO said he is considered a Level 2 sex offender with medium risk to re-offend.
