LANCASTER – Law enforcement officers from multiple agencies swept through the Antelope Valley Friday conducting compliance checks of paroled registered sex offenders.
“Primarily in the city of Lancaster,” said Sergeant Brian Hudson of the Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Bureau. “It’s part of an ongoing joint effort between the Sheriff’s Department and state parole officers to ensure that registered sex offenders residing in the Antelope Valley are living within the terms of their parole conditions.”
Twelve locations were visited during the operation, which began at 7 a.m., Friday, April 25.
Seven registered sex offenders were found to be in various violations of their parole and were arrested, Hudson stated.
One registered sex offender was arrested for failing to register with the Sheriff’s Department within the required time period after he moved to a residence in the Antelope Valley.
Names and addresses for those arrested were not immediately available Friday afternoon.
The parole compliance operation was conducted by detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Bureau, California State Parole Officers from the Department of Corrections and personnel from the U.S. Marshals Service.

We saw one of these in full blown tactical mode and thought it was a huge “drug” bust (on Palmdale Blvd East Lancaster)!!! You do have the guns and uniforms-but damn. Happy to hear they got 7 out of 12, it’s at least over 50%
Jip Joe says
I certainly not opposed to the checks, also would like mandatory medical experiments conducted on these ‘people’. But…why does the so called law ‘enforcement’ have to play dress up? AR15’s, full tactical gear, for what? In case someone tries to molest them? Get over the GI & Halo attitude. Get real, you look like real idiots when you pretend play soldier boy. Do you job instead of spending an hr getting dressed up.
You want to get rid of the problem, then really get rid of these molesters.
I suppose we do owe this scum something, because if these soldier boys were not going after them, the rest of the so-called law abiding citizens would be welcomed with AR15 toting Halo soldiers over traffic tickets next.
George says
Why don’t you do a search of “molester shoots at police”. I like the way you call it dress up. Any way one could make themselves safer against these people who have nothing to lose seems to make sense to me. A lot more sense that your comments.
I have an idea. Let’s send you to the door next time to do the checks. You can have a compliance check list and a flower to give. Hope you make it alright.
Eric says
You familiar with the concept of an arms race? Criminals are going to try to get away, regardless. All the militarization of the police is achieving is requiring the criminals to acquire more dangerous arms so they can attempt to flee.
Once a community has a SWAT team, they start using it. Right now its molesters and drug busts, how long before their serving traffic warrants with a SWAT team? They also need to do away with the no-knock warrants. Someone breaks into your house unannounced, are you going to wait and see if they are police before you do something? Creates nothing but danger on both ends.

Jip Joe— Calm down! I am thankful law enforcement is doing their job keeping sex offenders in line. I don’t care what they wear as long as they stay safe keeping the community safe.
AV Folk says
I think bulletproof vests and assault rifles is pretty standard and is not excessive. I’m really just glad they are checking onsome of these turds.
Jason Zink says
Until AV becomes its own County we will always be a dumbing ground period!!!!!!
Aaron Peterson says
The sheriff goes to 12 locations and arrest 8. The sex offenders are out of control in the Antelope Valley and still they keep dumping them here. Just like they want to dump the Pillow Case Rapist here. We need to get stronger and more people need to get off their butts and speak out. Start by sending letters to the government and the property owner where this POS is going to live. The neighbors should file small claims actions under The Safe Streets Act and sue the homeowner then let’s see how fast he might change his mind. Look how Clive Bundy the Nevada cattle rancher took a stand against the BLM. Well we can do the same thing and then the government might find a different place for the trash. Let’s Roll.
Bill H says
Hant the pillowcase rapist done his time? What we need to worry about is the 200 thousand plus this idiot in the white house is about to release from prison. Maybe that should be your target.
A Lady in Lancaster says
Do parolees get Section 8? It seems like landlords cash in on renting foreclosed homes to these guys. Do the landlords even live in the Antelope Valley? Seems problem is that there is a business developing of renting homes to parolees and that is what needs to be changed. . . My two cents.
Irena says
Clive Bundy was breaking the law plain and simple. He refused to pay grazing fees. His claim of ancestral rights was found to be non-existent.
Besides his comment of how blacks were better off under slavery kind of seals his own fate in the public eye. He is simply some crazy guy. Bundy is a believer in the sovereign citizen movement btw. I don’t see how this compares to the pillow case rapist at all
Eric says
Irena, the Bundy Ranch situation is very relevant. It wasn’t about taxes, grazing, or cattle. Its about government overstepping its bounds. Its about the people of this country being fed up to here with a government that is supposed to serve its’ citizens interest and is instead serving its own. If Bundy truly owes money, the issue should have been resolved in court and with a lien. Not with a paramilitary force harassing his family and killing his cattle.
People were angry with the method the government used out there, and they responded. What was likely another Waco or Ruby Ridge situation has been averted now, thanks to brave American’s willing to stand for each other. And despite what the treasonous Senator from Nevada (who has his hand in the pot) says, these are not terrorists. These are Americans, willing to stand, just like the great men who founded our country to begin with. People have rights, and the government needs to stop trampling them. Bundy has the BLM. We have Mayor Parris and a judge from another city trying to force a rapist on us.
We should all be out there infront of that residence, clearly indicating we won’t tolerate this in our community.
AV Folk says
Eric… Fox News is against Bundy now. Krauthamer said it’s un-American to not recognize the American government. Time to change your opinion and make like you always felt that way.
Eric says
Fox News is about as reliable as CNN and MSNBC. I don’t watch any of them. If I was more willing to rollover, I’d probably still have a girlfriend, so the government can wait its turn, it ain’t going to happen.
bird says
Irena— You just don’t get it! Do your homework if you care enough.
AV Folk says
Bird… Bundy is an idiot that refuses to recognize the U.S. as a legitimate government and who thinks that his land is anywhere he darn well pleases it to be. I’m glad you think that’s patriotic but I think it’s just a greedy, pragmatic way for him to make money by essentally stealing from a shared resource. He went to court, lost, then said the court doesn’t count because it’s all his land and there is no U.S. authority. Even if he wasn’t a racist, which I really don’t care about, he’s still trying to capitalize on subversive elements within our society in order to continue his illegally taking what is not his own. Plus he then tells the courts and womever else that he’ll get in a standoff/shootout with anyone that comes to collect what ye owes. He may be a Hannity Hero, but there’s a reason Hannity is at 10:00 and that’s because he’s a fringe nutjob.
bird says
AV Folk—Bundy was willing to pay, just not to the BLM. He’s worked, I say worked that land. His family has been there for generations. Do your homework and you will see what the BLM is up to. They have driven other ranchers out for nefarious reasons. Bundy is just a hard case, and refuses to go or pay the BLM.
AV Folk says
Bird… He refused to pay and went to court, lost, then said the court doesn’t have jurisdiction. Bundy is a thief.
