Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents arrested four convicted sex offenders during Valentine’s Day weekend.
Two of the felons were convicted for crimes against children: aggravated criminal sexual assault of a minor 16-years-old and lewd and lascivious conduct with a child of 14-15. The others were convicted of gross sexual imposition and 3rd degree criminal sexual conduct.
Two of the subjects were United States citizens. The others, from Mexico, were previously charged, convicted and removed from the U.S. Last month, however, these criminals were apprehended for illegally re-entering the country or smuggling. The suspects were processed for prosecution and removal proceedings.
