ALOHA, Ore. — Deputies in Oregon are searching for a child sex crimes suspect after he removed his ankle monitor and fled, authorities said.
But deputies learned Tuesday that the Aloha resident had cut his device, the Sheriff's Office said. Search crews have not been able to find him, KGW reported.
According to KGW and KATU, 29-year-old Josiah Rosales was released on $125,000 bail Sept. 16, two months after he was charged with rape, sodomy, luring a minor, encouraging child sex abuse and other sex crimes, the Washington County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post.
"Mr. Rosales had several conditions associated with his release, to include wearing a GPS ankle monitor at all times," the post said.
Deputies said the 5-foot-9, 300-pound Rosales was last spotted on Southwest Breckenridge Lane, KGW reported. Deputies are urging anyone with information about his whereabouts to call 911.
