CA Sex Offender Arrested for Finding Home Too Close to School and Park

by

A sex offender who recently moved to Joshua Tree was arrested after he ignored police officials’ warnings that he should not move next to an elementary school. Rowland Chorn, 29, was arrested on suspicion of failing to comply with California sex offender registration guidelines, according to this news report. Chorn apparently came into the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s station to register his new address, but deputies objected because his home was too close to the Joshua Tree Elementary School and Sunburst Park. Jessica’s Law bans sex offenders from living within 2,640 feet of a school and within 2,000 feet from a park.

The tag “sex offender” doesn’t come of after your conviction, incarceration or even after you serve time. You may think you have turned a corner or may have even served time for a sex crime you did not commit. But society is unforgiving and your sex offender label stays forever. It is becoming increasingly difficult for those who have been convicted of sex crimes in California to find housing. Many live on the streets as transients. This is probably the most devastating consequence of being convicted of a sex crime.
