Sex Offenders Megan's Law offers Californians a way to protect their families from serious sex offenders who may be living in their neighborhoods. The law, passed in 1996, permits public access to certain information about the location of convicted sex offenders. Megan's Law also allows law enforcement to notify Californians about serious and high-risk sex offenders who have established themselves in the community. For more detailed information available under Megan's law, please contact your local police or sheriff's department. Sexually Violent Predators District Attorney Bonnie M. Dumanis is committed to public safety. One of her top goals is protecting the
citizens of San Diegans against high risk sex offenders. Our Sexual Assault and Stalking Division works with the
SAFE Task Force and all law enforcement agencies in San Diego County to make sure that High Risk sex offenders who fail to
register are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Recently, 3 Sexually Violent Predators have been ordered into Phase V of the Department of Mental Health's Sex Offender Treatment Program. The Department has recommended housing placement for two of these patients: David Chambless and Gary Snavely. A third patient, John David Norman, does not yet have a housing placement recommendation. For information on SVPs, the proposed placements and how the public can comment on it before the court orders a community treatment placement, see below.
