Butler County deputies are turning to the public in their search for 32-year-old Kin Delgado, spotlighted in this week’s "Warrant Wednesday" bulletin as wanted on two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor and for failing to register a change of address. Deputies say Delgado is about 5-foot-11 and roughly 180 pounds, and that his current whereabouts are unknown. Officials are warning residents not to approach him and to contact law enforcement immediately with any information.
What the bulletin says
The sheriff's office laid out the case in a Facebook post on Wednesday, listing Delgado's birthdate as May 25, 1993, and detailing the active charges along with his registration issues. The notice identifies him as a Tier II sex offender and includes a physical description plus instructions for providing tips. According to the Butler County Sheriff's Office, the bulletin also gives a direct contact for Warrants Deputy Chase Stewart.
How to submit tips
The county’s website outlines several ways to share information, including options that let people remain anonymous. Residents can text the keyword "COPS" to 274637 (CRIMES) or send information through the sheriff’s online tip portal. The SORN unit also operates phone lines during business hours for registration and verification questions. For details and office hours, see the Butler County Sheriff's Office.
Warrant Wednesday as a public tool
The weekly "Warrant Wednesday" posts are part of an ongoing effort by the sheriff’s office to pull the community into the search for people with active warrants. Local coverage has followed the steady stream of bulletins and the department’s reliance on social media to widen the net for wanted individuals. For recent context on how the campaign works, see this recent rundown of the campaign.
Offender history and classification
Public registry listings compiled by third-party aggregators show Delgado as a Tier II registrant with a prior conviction under Ohio Revised Code 2907.04 for Unlawful Sexual Conduct With a Minor. Those records list a conviction date of May 19, 2014 and identify the specific statute tied to the earlier case, consistent with the sheriff’s current classification. The compiled entry appears at OffenderRadar.
Legal consequences
Under Ohio law, Tier II offenders must verify their registration information every 180 days for 25 years, and failing to do so can result in new criminal charges and additional warrants. County SORN materials and state guidance note that missed verifications can trigger stepped-up enforcement and can pause the 25-year clock until the person is back in compliance. For the sheriff’s guidance and SORN contact lines, the department directs residents to its SORN page.
Authorities urge anyone who sees Delgado not to confront him. Instead, call 9-1-1 right away or contact the Warrants Division. The sheriff's Facebook post lists Warrants Deputy Chase Stewart at 513-785-1278 for tips, and the department again points to its anonymous text and web reporting options. Investigators say community tips often make the difference in closing active cases while keeping the wider public safe.
