A Parsons man is arrested for failing to register as a sex offender.

 The Parsons Registered Offender Program or PROP found that Richard Sandoval, of Parsons, was in noncompliance with his Lifetime Sex Offender status. Sandoval had been unregistered since failing to register in November 2022.

Sandoval is a Sex Offender for life stemming from a December 2001 conviction in Labette County for Aggravated Indecent Solicitation of a Child. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s Public Offender Registry website lists Sandoval's victim as a 9 year old female.

Sandoval failed to register quarterly in November 2022, then again in February, May, and August of this year.

It was also found that Sandoval had been in violation of his requirement to annually renew his Kansas driver's license. He had been falsely reporting his Kansas driver's license was up to date even though it expired in 2013.

PROP arrested Sandoval yesterday for 22 counts of Aggravated Violation of Offender Registration & 12 counts of Violation of Offender Registration. The charges are being sent to the Labette County Attorney's Office for review.
