Off-duty officer arrests suspected sex offender at gym

From Stan Oklobdzija:

An off-duty Rancho Cordova Police Department detective arrested a high-risk sex offender at an Arden-area gym after he spotted the 52-year-old man chatting up a juvenile while he lifted weights, according to a press release.

Burk Stearns, a gang detective with the Rancho Cordova Police Department, was working out during his off-time at a health club at the 5100 block of Arden Way when he spotted a man wearing a GPS ankle monitor that Stearns recognized as the type worn by high-risk sex offenders, the release said.

Stearns then saw the man, identified as Jeffrey Clarke Cameron of Rancho Cordova, start talking to a boy as he was lifting weights, the release said.

Stearns identified himself to health club personnel and learned that the boy was in fact underage. After learning the man's identity, he phoned the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, which contracts police services to the Rancho Cordova, and learned that Cameron was a sex-offender on parole, the release said. One condition of his parole was that Cameron could not have any contact with juveniles, according to the release.

With the help of other off-duty Rancho Cordova police and Sacramento County Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement Team deputies, Stearns detained Cameron at the health club, the release said.

A search of Cameron's home in Rancho Cordova turned up a cache of child pornography, the release said. Cameron was arrested for the child pornography as well as probation violation and was booked into Sacramento County Jail, the release said.

Sacramento County Court records indicate that Cameron was sentenced to 12 years in state prison in 1997 for committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14.

Rancho Cordova Police are investigating any other illegal contact Cameron may have had while out on parole for the last 10 months. Anyone with information is urged to called Detective Stearns at (916) 875-9624.
