Tuolumne County Sex Offender Arrested For Living With Toddler

JAMESTOWN (CBS13) — Deputies arrested a sex offender after discovering he had been living with a toddler.

The deputies went to the house on Preston Lane in Jamestown for a welfare check Sunday and were assured by 31-year-old Alyssa Whitt that she was okay and no one else was home. Soon after, deputies were called back after Whitt reportedly prevented a roommate from entering the home.

Back at the home, deputies found registered sex offender 36-year-old Nathan Orozco was living in the house with Whitt, another roommate, and a toddler. Per his probation, Orozco is not allowed to have contact with minor children.
