Agents assigned to the Blythe Station responded to the Kingman jail and took custody of the individual, who was later identified as Jorge De Jesus-Martinez.

Lowrie said agents determined that De Jesus-Martinez was in the country illegally and transported him back to the Blythe Station for further processing.

During processing, Lowrie said a fingerprints checks revealed that De Jesus-Martinez was a convicted sex offender

Back in September of 2008, De Jesus-Martinez was charged with one count of rape and one count of sexual battery. He was convicted on both counts and sentenced to serve two years in prison.

“He served his time in Stockton, Cali.,” Lowrie said.

Lowrie said De Jesus-Martinez will be processed for removal proceedings and deported back to Mexico.
