City sees rise in sex offenders in Odessa area
Odessa Police spokesman CPL Steve LeSueur reports 178 sex offenders registered within city limits. Officials note population growth brings more potential victims and neighbors may be unaware of nearby offenders. Texas DPS tools provide address searches. County probation director Richard Mann cites 46 offenders in Ector County with 36 transfers from out of town, linked to oilfield-driven migration. Federal cases on failure to register show a gradual uptick, while local statistics are unclear.
