The California Sex Offender Management Board (CASOMB) met today and during that meeting, several state agency reports were presented. The reports reflect increases in almost every category including the number of registrants in prison as well as the number of petitions granted. Below is a chart listing those and other statistics presented during today’s meeting. Please note that the former category on this chart reflects statistics presented in May 2025.

That meeting will be held at 2590 Venture Oaks Way and begin at 9:30 a.m. Attendance at CASOMB meetings is in person only and can not be accessed virtually.

4-to-1 gain seems like the opposite of what this tiered registry was supposed to accomplished. And all because of a single, literally corrupt, senator.
I know we don’t necessarily know what the dismissals and denials are because of, but it’d be nice if it could be. The state is all about stats, so this set of stats outta be easy to keep, but isn’t outta shear laziness of the govt employee and lack of insight to do so. Who is going to ask them for it so it is on the record at least of being asked for?
I’d love to know the facts of some of those “petitions denied” cases.
Looks like when it comes to the registry it’s one step forward two steps back three steps forward.
When California implemented the tier registry, the whole reason was to shrink in the registry to make it more manageable and to focus on people with more serious crimes. The problem is when California first started throwing people on there the Internet and social media wasn’t as big as it is now, so most people on there were for crimes that were physically committed BUT when the Internet took off more cyber crimes involving CP started popping up so many that they had to pass the california 3 tier law, to make room for these new cyber criminals.
A lot of people who are placed in tier 1 but have crimes involving the Internet and minors 290.5 petitions probably will be denied depending on the DA and depending on your lawyer, but I would say 85% denied.
I wonder what people will do when the executioners come knocking. Wait that’s right they won’t care
It’s like a game of whack-a-mole happening in the golden state
An important statistic missing from all CASOMB reports: The number of PFR’s in each of the three tiers. How many are in Tier One, Two or Three? I’ve searched all websites, and used AI. Nothing shows. Wonder if Janice has this info? Inquiring minds….
