NEWBURGH - Police have confirmed that a man, wanted for a violent burglary in September, killed himself in October. Rosendo Perez-Villalobos, who was deported from the United States five times was most recently wanted by Newburgh City Police in connection with a September 13 violent burglary, in which he strangled and assaulted his victim and committed burglary. One week later, police released a wanted posted for Perez-Villalobos on charges of strangulation, burglary and rape. On October 1, officers found a man hanging from a tree, the victim of an apparent suicide. After receiving DNA confirmation, city police on Tuesday announced the body was that of Perez-Villalobos. In addition to the Newburgh charges, he had been wanted on an outstanding warrant for sexual misconduct and was a sex offender in New York State. Newburgh Police were assisted in the investigation by the State Police Violent Felony Warrant Squad and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

That's what Craig Strizzi, a veteran correction officer at the Albany County jail, allegedly told two inmates Wednesday afternoon just before he enlisted them to join him in beating another inmate in the jail's recreation yard. Statements from Strizzi (PDF), the victim and the two inmates charged Monday in the beating shed light on the alleged plot, the lengths Strizzi is accused of going to in an effort to cover up the attack and how it unfolded. "We both talked about how we hated child molesters," Matthew Cahn, one of the inmates charged in the beating, said in his statement to investigators. Strizzi, Cahn and Lauterio Santos are accused of attacking [name withheld], a 20-year-old Albany man held at the jail on charges he raped an 8-year-old boy in Albany's Lincoln Park. "I told Strizzi I would like to get a shot at getting [name withheld] if I could do it without getting into trouble."

So I guess the online registry is not sufficient, now they are posting ex-offender info on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.
