SAN JOSE, Calif. - California has lost track of more than 33,000 convicted sex offenders, despite a law requiring rapists and child molesters to register each year for inclusion in the Megan's Law database.
"We don't know where they are," acknowledged Margaret Moore, who until recently ran California's sex offender registry.
Sex offenders are not checking in with law enforcement, which in most cases is a felony. And many overworked police departments are not following up.
