Madison, WI. February 12, 2013 – A registered sex offender living in Jefferson County was arrested late Monday night by Dane County Sheriff’s deputies, after an encounter he had with a 17-year-old male in the Village of Cambridge.

The male victim was working at a local grocery store when he was approached by Phillip J. Godfrey, age 46 of Cambridge. Godfrey made several sexually explicit comments to the victim, and made statements insinuating that he had been watching the boy on past occasions.
