Sex offender registers at new address

A devil-worshipping sex offender who recently moved to Spokane from Texas has registered at a new address.

Danny “Triple 6” Walter Schertz, 61, is living at the New Washington apartments, 327  1/2 W. 2nd Ave., according to the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office. He’s not under supervision and is not wanted by police.

He’s classified as a level 3 sex offender, the classification considered most likely to reoffend, and is required to check in with authorities quarterly now that he has a permanent address.

Schertz has convictions for rape, kidnapping and pimping that date back to the ’60s, and he spent nine years in a federal prison for charges related to kidnapping a teenage girl and pimping her at truck stops across the country in 1995, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

He uses a wheelchair but has some mobility in his legs, detectives said.

Schertz denied any sexual abuse, also saying he’s a proud Satanist.

“I just want to be left alone,” Schertz said. “I’m just out doing my own thing, and it don’t have anything to do with no teenagers or no kids, or anything illegal.”
