It was one monster pretending to be another.
A convicted child sex offender in Wisconsin brazenly entertained kids while working as a volunteer creature at a charity haunted house, authorities said.
The gig was up for Andy Hawthorne, 36, earlier this month when he took off his mask to comfort a scared child and an alert father — an off-duty officer — recognized him,the Journal Sentinel reported.
Hawthorne was charged Thursday with two counts of being a child sex offender working with children, and one count of sex offender registry violation, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the newspaper.
Amazingly, Hawthorne said he worked at the Hartford Jaycees’ Dwelling of Despair in Slinger to satisfy his community service.
