State sex-offender site leads to arrest
A Mercury News article by Chuck Carroll, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
A mother's use of the state's online sex-offender registry has led to the arrest of a Los Gatos man who allegedly touched her child inappropriately at a grocery store.
Using the Web site www. meganslaw.ca.gov after the Sept. 13 incident, the mother identified the man as 64-year-old Baron Alexander McDonald.
Los Gatos/Monte Sereno police said they arrested McDonald on Tuesday as he was driving away from his residence on Camellia Terrace, which is near the store.
The mother spoke to the suspect when she saw him touch the child, but all the man did was walk away. At first, the mother didn't report the incident to police, said police Sgt. Dave Gravel. ``As she thought about it, she really started feeling weird about it. She wondered if it was just some weird guy, or he could be an actual sex offender?''
