MILWAUKIE, OR (KPTV) -

Flyers were plastered all over a neighborhood in Milwaukie about a predatory sex offender who's being released from custody.

Clackamas County deputies say Thomas Benson has a history of targeting young girls at pools.

They say Benson has even dressed as a female to go inside the women's locker room.

Officers also plan to notify aquatic centers in the area.

Benson has been convicted of first-degree sex abuse.

He's not allowed to have contact with anyone under the age of 18 as part of his probation.
