CBS Atlanta 46GA sex offender found in Alaska posing as private investigator

CORRECTION 2/20/2012:  CBS Atlanta has learned John Bacon was granted a license to work as a private investigator by the municipality of Anchorage in 2011.  According to the deputy clerk of Anchorage, the municipality only requires applicants undergo a state criminal background check.

A former Georgia man and twice-convicted sex offender, who had been exposed by CBS Atlanta for doing jobs he's not allowed to do, has been found working as a private investigator in Alaska.

KTVA reported that John Bacon offered his expertise to help find a missing 18-year-old woman in Anchorage. Police said Samantha Koenig was kidnapped from a coffee stand earlier this month.

According to the Alaska Investigations Association, Bacon does not have the required license to work as a private investigator in Anchorage.

CBS Atlanta's hidden cameras caught Bacon posing as a plumber in 2010. He ignored a state order prohibiting him from doing plumbing work in Georgia.  

In 2011, CBS Atlanta found Bacon working as psychologist. He met with an undercover CBS Atlanta producer at a restaurant for a counseling session. According to the secretary of state's website, Bacon does not have a license to practice psychology. 

After CBS Atlanta aired the investigations, Bacon moved to Alaska. 

Bacon had been convicted twice in the 1990s for sex crimes against children.  One conviction occurred while he was serving in the military.

After KTVA uncovered Bacon's history, he told reporters he planned to drop the search for Koenig and is moving to Virginia.
