Narrative:
On Saturday, March 23, 2019, Sheriff’s detectives conducted compliance checks at the residences of thirty-nine (39) registered sex offenders throughout the Moorpark area. The compliance checks were funded through the Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE / ELEAS) program.
Thirty-seven (37) of the sex registrants were confirmed to be in compliance with their registration requirements. Two (2) registrants were not contacted because they were not home or had moved. Sheriff’s detectives will follow-up to determine if the remaining registrants not contacted are out-of-compliance.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office aggressively pursues prosecution of those sex registrants who fail to comply with their registration requirements. Detectives will be conducting similar sweeps on an ongoing basis, to verify registered sex offenders are living at their reported residences and in compliance with any probation or parole terms.
Residents of Ventura County can visit the Megan’s Law website (www.meganslaw.ca.gov) to familiarize themselves with the sex registrants in their community.
