NEWPORT BEACH
School officials alerted students and parents Tuesday about a sex offender living within a quarter-mile of Lincoln Elementary School.
Fliers passed out to Lincoln students and their parents identified the sex offender as Jay Michael Raymond. Raymond is listed as a serious sex offender by the state Department of Justice. He recently moved to Newport Beach from Riverside County.
Raymond was convicted in 1997 of annoying and/or molesting a child. Because he lives near an elementary school, the police used their authority under Megan’s Law to inform school officials.
Newport Beach Police Sgt. Mike McDonough said that Raymond has informed the department that he will be moving out of his apartment this weekend.
