Wanted sex offender back behind bars

Alexander Paul Childs

Sex offender Alexander Paul Childs, who reportedly took off his ankle bracelet, is back behind bars.

He was booked into the Sacramento County Jail the afternoon of June 27 on two felony charges — parole violation and failing to register as a sex offender after moving. He was being held without bail.

Childs, 25, had been living in Meyers for a while. It was in May that it was discovered his bracelet was not active.

In 2012 he was convicted of a lewd or lascivious act on a child 14 or younger.
