Along with the officers, members of the New York State Division of Corrections and Community Supervision and Sullivan County Probation conducted home visits and searches of offenders under supervision to determine if they had violated any of the conditions of their parole or probation.
In total, 39 registered sex offenders were investigated and 10 were arrested. Below are the names of the 10 arrested and what they were charged with.
