In a similar case, George Albert, 51, also from San Jose and described as 6 feet tall, 230 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, is wanted for not re-registering as a sex offender. Albert's previous charge was child molestation. The public is urged to come forward with information that could aid the detectives in locating these individuals. Emails can be sent to [email protected] with any pertinent tips, including both the social media post and the report by Hoodline.
With the SAFE Task Force leading the effort, and in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, they are charged with monitoring convicted offenders and pursuing those who break registration laws. The Task Force's page on the sheriff's official site provides various contact methods, including a tip line, for the public to report valuable information to investigators, the bulletin by the sheriff’s office specifies.
Willful failure to register as a sex offender carries serious legal consequences. Depending on the nature of the underlying conviction, such an offense may be prosecuted as either a misdemeanor or a felony. Felony convictions for registration violations can result in 16 months to three years in state prison. The public is reminded to check the Megan's Law website by the state Department of Justice for a searchable registry of convicted sex offenders. However, it should be noted that not all registrants are listed publicly, and the misuse of registry information is strictly forbidden, as stated on the registry's website.
If anyone believes they have seen either Edward Jaimez or George Albert, it is advised not to approach them but to call 911 in an emergency. For non-emergency tips, contact the Sheriff’s Office tip line or the SAFE Task Force directly with any helpful information.
