Ventura County Sheriff’s Office conducts sex offender check-ins

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office conducted a series of compliance checks at the residences of dozens of registered sex offenders in the county.

The compliance sweep occurred on Saturday throughout Ventura, Oxnard and surrounding communities.

20 of the sex registrants were found to be in compliance with their registration requirement and 11 registrants were not contacted because they were not home or had moved.

Sheriff’s detectives will follow-up to locate the remaining 11 registrants and pursue prosecution for those found to be out of compliance.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office 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.
