City officials are angry about the arrest of two registered sex offenders accused of raping minors while staying at an El Cajon motel through county programs. El Cajon city officials want motels to stop temporarily accepting clients from the programs.
. Referrals to it are made by the sheriff's department and the district attorney's office. The program was recently expanded. Their goal is to serve 300 to 400 people through 2026 when the grant ends.
"We've got to stop it now. This is madness," said Steve Goble, the deputy mayor of El Cajon. He said if they don't take action to protect their city, no one will."If you don’t fulfill the conditions of that license to protect everyone … you can’t do business in El Cajon," he said. County officials also said the names of the people placed in their homeless voucher program are checked on the Megan's Law website, and they said the separate C3 program is"designed to serve high-need justice-involved individuals."
Sgt. Rob Ransweiler said officers have arrested dozens of people from county programs, but he still believes they serve a purpose. "We’re not getting answers from anyone and I don’t even know who to go to. I'm very frustrated," Metschel said.
