Registered Sex Offender Arrested for Allegedly Videotaping Girl in Valencia
A 69-year-old registered sex offender has been arrested for allegedly videotaping girls in Los Angeles County. According to a CBS Los Angeles news report, the arrest was made after detectives received a report of the man taping a girl at a Target store on Magic Mountain Parkway in Valencia. During a search of his home, officials allegedly found tapes that he made at the Santa Monica Pier, Real Life Church, Target, and Walmart. According to an online search, he is a registered offender for a number of convictions including lewd or lascivious acts with a child less than 14 years of age by force of fear.
Sex offenders have their personal information posted online. They have to register with their local law enforcement on a regular basis. The very places in which they are allowed to live and work are restricted by the terms of their probation. Offenders in Los Angeles are often scrutinized and vilified by their neighbors and by the authorities.
