In July 2011, 33-year-old German De Jesus was arrested after putting his hand down the pants of a 6-year-oid girl and touching her vagina while at a movie night at the Grand Park in Aliso Viejo. She was standing just 10 feet from her father. This case is pending. For this case and another molest of an 8-year-old girl at another location, is charged with three felony counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a minor under 14 and a sentencing enhancement allegation of substantial sexual conduct with a child. If convicted on all counts, he faces a sentence ranging from a minimum of 15 years to life to a maximum of 45 years to life in state prison. In April 2011, a Lake Forest woman called the police when she saw a registered sex offender/child pornographer with a video camera near her children while they were playing at a park. OCSD deputies who responded told her that the man could not be arrested because he was not on probation or parole, and there was no such law in the City of Lake Forest. The City of Lake Forest enacted an ordinance in December 2011. In April 2012, William Gabriel Rodriguez, 29, Cypress, was charged with one felony count each of contacting a child with intent to commit a specified sex crime, meeting a minor with intent to engage in lewd conduct, and lewd acts upon a child. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of four years and eight months in state prison and mandatory lifetime sex offender registration. Rodriguez is accused of meeting 15-year-old Jane Doe on a social networking website and telling her he was 18 years old communicating with Jane Doe through his computer and phone texts for a period of two to three weeks, and meeting Jane Doe at Maple Grove Park South in Cypress. He is accused of kissing Jane Doe several times on the mouth. Cypress police officer conducting foot patrol spotted the defendant and victim. The officer noticed the victim looked much younger than Rodriguez and contacted the defendant. An example of someone who could be present in parks located in cities that do not have such an ordinance is serial child molester Sid Landau, who has been convicted of numerous child molests and found to be a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP). If a jury grants Landau's petition to be released from his SVP civil commitment at Coalinga State Prison at a trial scheduled for Oct_ 22, 2012, he could be free to roam in any park without such an ordinance. In 1982, Landau was convicted of molesting a 10-year-old boy and sentenced to three years in state prison. He was arrested again in 1987 for molesting a 5-year-old boy, but the case was ultimately dismissed. In 1988, Landau pleaded guilty to 18 counts of lewd acts on a child for molesting a 9-year-old boy and received 17 years in state prison. He was paroled in 1996, but only spent 15 months free over the next four years, as he continued to be re-imprisoned for extended periods of time for violating the terms of his parole. This included confessing to going to the zoo (a violation because Landau is prohibited from going to places where children are known to congregate), assaulting a camera man, and possessing teddy bears in his home, items which are lures for children. In 2000, Landau was placed in a mental hospital after his prison term expired and the People filed a Petition to have him declared an SVP. Landau met one of his victims while he lived at a home in Anaheim a few blocks from a park. He frequently went to the park with his beautiful Siberian Husky, which would attract attention from many other park-goers, including young boys. One of his victims, then 8, met Landau at the park when he went to pet Landau's dog_ From then on, Landau began to groom the victim until he ultimately began to sexually molest him. 3 5OA-19
