A Houston man was taken into custody Friday after police say he attended the Houston R‑1 School District graduation ceremony despite restrictions tied to his status on the sex offender registry.
According to a probable cause statement filed by the Houston Police Department, officers were alerted on May 15, 2026, that 66‑year‑old Roger _____ was present inside the Tiger Field House during the ceremony, where “numerous juveniles [were] present” .

Omg this is so sad
Another example of the registry harming families. All this grandfather wanted to see was his granddaughter’s graduation and shouldn’t have been arrested.

In California you’re going to prison if u step foot on a school campus. California updated the laws back in 2021 but the real question is what if a person forced to register is a single parent and have to in roll there child in school, by law if they don’t they could be arrested. Can you imagine walking on a school campus to in roll your child and be arrested days later.
