The Summit County Sheriff's Office is asking for help in locating eight convicted sex offenders who haven't been reporting their whereabouts to authorities and are missing.
The offenders — all men — are considered fugitives and have active warrants out for their arrest.
The Sheriff's Office has created a poster with the names, descriptions and photos of the men. They are:
• John Fox, 29, whose last known address was on East Glenwood Avenue in Akron. He was convicted of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
• Dwayne E. Pearson, 37, who last lived on Floyd Street in Akron. He was convicted of unlawful imprisonment.
• Gerald Owens, 43, who last lived on Morse Street in Akron. He was convicted of aggravated sodomy and rape.
• Joseph Rivers, 47, who last lived on East Avenue in Akron. He was convicted of attempted gross sexual imposition.
• Innocent Okolo, 45, who last lived on Rowles Drive in Akron. He was convicted of sexual imposition.
• Mel Vanmeter, 42, who is homeless and reported his address as Waterloo Road and South Main Street. He was convicted of attempted rape.
• Cory Little, 19, who last lived on Raasch Avenue in Akron. He was convicted of sexual imposition.
• Marcus A. Brooks, 23, who last lived on Johnland Avenue in Akron. He was convicted of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

Deputies advised people not to attempt to apprehend them. People who know their whereabouts can call Summit County Crimestoppers anonymously at 330-434-2677 or the sheriff's detective bureau at 330-643-8635, 330-643-5404 or 330-643-2501.
