On March 4, 2015, Robert George Roe, Jr, DOB 9/28/59, a transient, was arrested for intent to commit a sex offense with a minor after the San Luis Obispo Police Department received a tip from a citizen who reported a disturbing photograph and message found on Craigslist.

Recently, Crime Stoppers and members of the San Luis Obispo Police Department met with the tipster and provided a cash reward for the information that was provided and led to the arrest of Robert Roe, Jr.
