Ventura County Sheriff's Department

During the Months of April, May and the first week of June, personnel from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department conducted sex registrant compliance sweeps. California Penal Code Section 290 requires persons convicted of specified sexual assault crimes to register their address with the responsible local law enforcement agency. These compliance checks are to verify the location where the registrant states they reside and to conduct probation and or parole searches of their residence. During the first phase of these sweeps, 117-sex registrant’s addresses have been verified. 3 arrests have been made for violations of Penal Code Section 290 and 2 arrest warrants have been sought for violations of Penal Code 290. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department will continue to conduct these sweeps randomly throughout Ventura County.
