More on sex offender who demanded sex in return for lost dog

Here's a little extra fact about Alfredo Dempkey that arrived this morning from the state Department of Corrections. Unfortunately, it didn't come yesterday in time for the story about Dempkey's arrest in Hawthorne.  According to police, he found a lost dog, called the teenage owner and told her he wanted sex in exchange for the dog.

She agreed to meet him. Police did instead and arrested him.

I reported that Dempkey is listed on the Megan's Law Web site as a sex offender. He's violated his term for failing to register. The site lists him as a transient. Police said he resides in Lancaster.

I couldn't get his criminal history yesterday in time for the story, but it arrived via email today. Dempkey was convicted in San Bernardino County on Aug. 5, 2003 of oral copulation by force or violence, and causing great bodily injury.

He was sentenced to six years in prison. He was released on parole on March 23, 2008. He violated his parole on June 11, 2008 and was returned to prison.

He was again released on parole on Feb. 4, 2009.

Now he's back in jail. We'll see if he gets charged today and with what.
