Sex Offender Severs GPS Monitor To Walk Into High School, Ogle Teens During Lunch

A registered sex offender reportedly severed his GPS monitor and walked into a high school campus in Shingle Springs to ogle teenage students while they were having lunch on Wednesday, June 30, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office said.

The convicted predator, Nolan Simmons, 41, has been accused of walking into the Ponderosa High School campus without permission on Wednesday, June 30, and sat down near multiple students while they were eating lunch, ABC10 reported.

A warrant had been issued for Simmons’ arrest the previous day for allegedly cutting off his GPS monitor, authorities said.

A group of students notified school staff about Simmons' unwelcome presence and a school resource officer was dispatched to the area. Law enforcement later found Simmons loitering near Meder Road, according to FOX40.

There were reportedly 400 students on campus at the time of the incident, officials said. Simmons was arrested and booked into the El Dorado County Jail on charges of being a registered sex offender on school grounds without permission and parole hold.

In a similar but unrelated incident, a church caretaker has been arrested after allegedly molesting a 9-year-old girl inside a church in Indonesia on June 27.

The 56-year-old sex offender was arrested by the police on Sunday, June 27, in Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province for allegedly raping an underage girl inside a local Catholic church some two years ago, Latin Times reported.

The horrific incident happened in Pong Lale, a village in Manggarai district, Indonesia. The sex offender, who was serving as a caretaker of the Pong Lale mission station church at the time of the crime, allegedly lured the 9-year-old girl with candy and money before sexually assaulting the vulnerable girl.

The incident came to light in November 2019 after the victim’s father lodged an official police complaint against the accused.

The accused was finally arrested by local police in Labuan Bajo on June 27 after a nearly two-year manhunt.
