SAN DIEGO — Residents in the Arbolito neighborhood are concerned for their children’s safety after a convicted sex offender moved into their neighborhood without any notice to the community.
Convicted sex offender, Spicer ____, was sentenced to eight years in state prison in 2017 for kidnapping, contact with a minor to commit a sexual offense and unlawful possession of an assault rifle.
A concerned parent, who did not want to be identified due to safety concerns, told FOX 5 Spicer ____is living with his mother on Poway Mesa Drive.
According to the concerned parent, no one notified the community with several school-aged children that Spicer ____ was moving in.
This concerned parent was too shocked to read correctly. The registry data begs to differ on the conviction.
I’m trying to think back as to how many times I have read a news article stating that a neighborhood was concerned about a convicted murderer moving in near them and their concern for their children’s safety because of it.
Hummmm – still trying to remember.
Why is this news?
I’m betting that the “concerned parent”s first name is “Karen”.
I want to respectfully disapprove of ACSOL putting this man’s photo on this website. You redact part of his name from the original article, but you plaster his photo on here???
Please explain how this online behavior furthers this organization’s mission.
if I move, is my photo going to be plastered on here because of a ratings sweeps stunt by a television station?????
“A parent who didn’t want to be identified…” American coward who knows gov isn’t able to protect at all. “We weren’t notified.”…”we kind of had to find out all on our own.” If he really can ” live wherever he wants” you think he’d be living with his momma?
This irrational fear of people who are put on the Registry (which is a cultivation of media sensationalism and cheap political ambitions) has misdirected the community’s vigilance from more common dangers to their children like DUI’s and illegal drug use. Poway has not benefited from this fear.
booooo we dont want him here boooo anther fox nooozzzzz station partial story why oh why
“I understand that he has a right to live and be somewhere, I don’t want him to have nowhere to go,” she said. “However, this might not be the best place.”
If you don’t like him being there, then come up with some decent housing and pay for it. The man is living with his mother because he has no other choice probably.
If they end up putting this person in a housing catch 22 and have them sent back to prison, they will be paying $81,000/yr for his accommodations. This makes me wonder why the state doesn’t just outright fund domiciles for newly released registrants until they can become self sufficient.
I think he is dangerous!
The apartments I live in have about a dozen people from the registry living here. That’s because before Janice and ACSOL defeated the 2000 ft residency restriction law, this place was 2000 ft from any school or park. My PO originally directed me here, and the management is accommodating because they discovered an amazing thing, and I have become acutley aware of it, too: Everyone of the tennants that are on the registry are quiet, clean, respectful, and very discreate. We have all been dragged over the coals by the justice system, we have all expereienced the stifling oppression of the registry. We are just so happy to have found a decent place to live where we are left alone and where we can rebuild our lives. I guess the management discovered this secret a while back becasue they are very happy to have people on the registry here. Zero problems. I can’t say that for the rest of the tenants. I have seen many tenants get evicted for blaring radios, destroying property, illegal activities and such, but not the SOs.
That woman in Poway hasn’t realized it yet, but if she has kids in the public schools, they have 100% chance of being offered alcohol, sex, and every imaginable drug before they are out of HS. Her kids are far more likely to be a statistic of those things being enticed from friends and at parties then ever even having contact with that SO who is unlikely to be any threat at all.
How is this even a “shock?” Someone has shown me the Megan’s Law website, and people labeled “Registered Sex Offenders” by the corrupt courts are everywhere now. Over 100,000 sex offenders in California — and about one-million sex offenders in America, the “Land of the Free.”
“News” articles like this are complete junk — and do nothing but feed mass hysteria. The person in question has paid his time, and is probably under strict supervision. “Reporter” Clara Benitez ought to be ashamed of herself.
