Residents of West Boca Raton are being warned that Byron Allan Cardozo, classified by the state as a sexual predator, has registered a new address at Watergate Mobile Home Estates, according to an alert from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
PBSO Alert And What It Lists
In a public notice shared by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Cardozo (DOB 05/18/1984) is listed as living at 11934 Watergate Circle in Boca Raton and is designated a sexual predator under Florida law. The flyer describes him as male, 5 ft. 9 in., 215 lbs., with brown hair and green eyes.
The notice also states that Cardozo’s supervision status is "Supervised - FL Department of Corrections" and lists his Department of Corrections number as W39757. The PBSO post points residents to state offender resources so they can independently verify the information and urges anyone with safety concerns to contact law enforcement.
How Florida's Registry Works
The state’s Sexual Offender and Predator Registry is maintained by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and requires community notification whenever a sexual predator establishes a residence in a Florida county. That system includes address-based neighborhood search tools and opt-in alert options.
According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the registry cautions that "positive identification cannot be established unless a fingerprint comparison is made" and outlines how to report possible errors in the public record. FDLE also offers an email alert service that allows residents to receive notices when someone registers an address in their area.
Federal Records Provide Background
Cardozo’s name also appears in federal court records. He pleaded guilty in 2019 to charges that included cyberstalking and making interstate threats tied to what federal authorities described as an extended harassment campaign, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Those federal case records provide background on his criminal history but are separate from Florida’s registration system, which is overseen by state officials and enforced locally by agencies such as PBSO.
Local Context And Next Steps
Local reporting has documented that the Watergate Mobile Home Estates area, and specifically 11934 Watergate Circle, has been tied to multiple sexual offender and predator registry updates in recent years. Coverage from outlets including BocaNewsNow has noted the address as a recurring focus of such notices.
Residents looking to confirm details or sign up for neighborhood alerts can use the Florida Department of Law Enforcement search tools and are encouraged to reach out directly to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office with any questions or concerns.
