EVERETT — Jim Scharf was ready. For three years he’d been digging into Danny Giles’ life. He knew the longtime sex offender was fond of working out, playing chess and watching NASCAR. He knew Giles’ criminal compulsions had earned him a series of prison jolts. A 1987 rape. A string of risky thefts. An enduring penchant for prowling around, seeking opportunities to spy on naked women and girls.

Noel worked in logistics and supply chain and inventory management, and that’s the kind of work he’s been looking for since leaving the Navy. He’s been going back to school at Everett Community College and hopes to pursue a master’s degree in social work. He’s kept abreast of new opportunities like the job fair through WorkSource Snohomish County’s Serve Center.
