SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY (CBS13) – Dozens of people were arrested as part of a child sex predator sting throughout San Joaquin County over the last week.
In total, 57 people were arrested and 37 were cited over a five-day span from April 12-16. The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office said the operation “targeted out-of-compliance sex offenders and persons on probation or parole for sex crimes, sex traffickers, prostitution, pimping, and pandering.”
Over 100 total officials from all assisting organizations were stationed throughout the county and made contact with would-be predators who thought they were talking with minors, authorities said. Probable cause was established and law enforcement officials then set up meetings with each suspect which resulted in the arrests.
Of those arrested, 23 face child sex predator charges, 2 face human trafficking charges, 4 face pimping/pandering charges, 16 face prostitution charges, 19 were arrested for solicitation, 6 face weapons charges, 18 were out-of-compliance sex offenders and 4 received traffic citations. Some men face multiple charges.
A wake up call to us registrants that law enforcement is very actively doing these sweeps. We can’t play with fire.
But we have a federal government encouraging tens of thousands of children to travel up to the southerner border and enter, no questions asked. Imagine how many disappear and are never heard from again. Today in Texas several hundred girls were abruptly moved from a Texas facility and the facility was shuttered. Why? What suddenly happened that al these young girls needed to be moved out on the weekend? The federal government and all involved with this are complicit in trafficking.
When/ if a registrant would screw up doesn’t mean we all do. How many crimes occurred while operation publicity was going on? Why have these operations when our own justice department says the re-offense rate is low? Oh wait easy promotions and fear sells!!
Unfortunately, Americans can’t trust anything that these law enforcement criminals do. Probably a good 80+% of this was for nonsense. Just harassing PFRs. A huge waste by out-of-control big government.
De-fund, de-fund, de-fund. People in law enforcement are overpaid.
Vote, and do not support any politicians who love big government and think we need more laws and law enforcement.
A loud and clear reminder that law enforcement is our enemy. Imagine the same situation but with drug offenders – former heroin addicts, out of prison, trying to get their life back together, moving out of their old neighborhood, doing what they can to avoid temptation. Instead of helping them overcome their addiction, the government find them, stalk them, then walk by and offer them some smack. The pigs are the predators.
The math is weird. This is how it works in San Joaquin County.
“I might have a house if you want to come,” [deputy] Shelvay messaged the man at one point. “My parents just left for the night.”
and
“The officers text written messages and enticing photos of young-looking adults…”

How can attraction to an enticing adult equal a child predator hunting for young children?
While I agree that dumb asses should cease and desist from stupidity, that doesn’t automatically perfect the government and it looks like entrapment.
Even if we just take these numbers purely as reported, there were 18 RCs arrested out of the 57. That’s 31.6% of the haul. That means two things to me: 1) “frightening and high” is still pure BS; and 2) the Registry doesn’t do squat if 68.4% of people caught are first-time offenders–and that’s with my being generous to LE with the RC arrests being FTRs, and apparently not something more sinister.
As usual, the article is a little vague on who exactly got charged with what. Were those out of compliance people charged with something else, or was it just a residency type check that nabbed them? I see some got parking citations. How is that possible in this type of operation. And 16 were arrested for prostitution (not solicitation). Were the cops pretending to be minors when soliciting them? That makes no sense in a so called child trafficking sting. A similar thing just happened in Florida. They called it a Major sex trafficking bust, but all the arrests were done by a sting with cops pretending to be minors. So how is that trafficking? There were no real victims involved, none!
But I really hope that nobody on the registry is participating in this type of deviant behavior. This does not help our cause. We know the mob is waiting for the slightest slip up to grab the torches and pitchforks and come forus. ACSOL has had so many victories the past couple of years. The stats are on our side. Please don’t anybody be reckless. Times are difficult and there is lots of depression going on, but hang on, it is going to get better.
So basically they were doing compliance checks and found a bunch of morons that can’t seem to take a hint from previous convictions that they shouldn’t be doing what they are doing.
We all know it’s a crime to not tell our oppressors every aspect of your life. Why give them opportunities to put a bigger target on us? Keeping getting punishment from other people’s behavior. If I screw up it’s on me, if Joe Blow screws up it’s on him.
It’s the same old story over and over again theses fake az operations are a joke. Iv never understood why all theses different types of law enforcement agencies get together and go after people on probation or parole why don’t they just check the monthly probation report that would save them alot of time and money.
On this operation These guys got so bord and desperate they started writing parking tickets and giving out citation how lame is that.
Now far as people getting busted in those online stings involving a minor its kinda hard to feel sorry for those guys i mean the text messages proving your true intentions after the decoys tell them their under age plus sending nude images of them selves and last but not least the 5 hour drive with a box of condoms and KY jelly in the car.
It’s kinda comical how law enforcement catches these crazy people.
Good luck ✌😬
California created the registry so I feel like if there’s any hope of destroying the registry it’s gonna have to start here in California.
At this point the registry is so big it’s useless and unmanageable there’s over 170,000 sex offenders living in California alone can you imagine if all those people got together and organized under the leadership of ACSOL can you imagine how much power ACSOL would have in California politicians would think twice before passing laws that just do nothing but punish and shame people for crimes that happened 20 30 40 years ago.
But People forced to register are afraid to speak up their afraid of what law enforcement might do their afraid of what their neighbors might do but most of all they’re afraid of being publicly shamed and I get it but sitting at home hiding behind your computers ain’t helping nothing.
Also people forced to register need to stop being afraid of law enforcement once you go down to the police station and sign those registry papers you are now in compliance that means you’re an American citizen just like everybody else living in society.
Good luck 😬👌
