The SAPD has received information that Cary Jay Smith is currently located at a healthcare center in Santa Ana, according to the SAPD’s Facebook page.

The Santa Ana Police Department is committed to public safety and will continue to monitor the situation and collaborate with our law enforcement partners and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

The OCDA recently released a warning about Smith, who spent 20 years in forced hospitalization at a state mental hospital.

Smith, who is 59-years-old, was sent to Patton State Hospital in San Bernardino in 1999 on a 72-hour psychiatric hold after his wife provided a psychiatrist with a letter in which Smith described sex acts he wanted to perform on a 7-year-old boy who lived in his Costa Mesa neighborhood.

  1. EXCELLENT…PERFECT PLACE FOR HIM, A GOOD MIX WITH THE PIPE SMOKING TWEEKERS & THUGS

      1. It is really quite simple…. he is not on parole or probation, and as such can do as he pleases. He is not “being moved” anywhere by anyone.

        This guy has / must have served his time for his misdemeanor conviction over 30 years ago. But I guess you won’t rest until he snaps or someone harms / kills him.

  2. Yeah he moved from Orange San Diego county a motel in lake Elsinore but angry crowd went to the motel and demanded to sheriffs they hand him over to them. So he moved to Santa Ana now.

  3. At this VERY moment He is in Costa Mesa, the place where he used to live and the place he has said the 7 yr old boy lives that he wants to rape. RECALL NEWSOM!!!!

    1. Thank you for letting me know I live in Costa Mesa and knowing this it simply scares me I have 6 kids. No way my kids will be outside in our front lawn playing. All get word around this nasty man is our neighbor.

  4. This guy is not ok anywhere. Writing a letter describing how you want to fornicate and have cunnilingus comments in that letter to a little boy is not on ever. Just that alone should speak volumes but there’s people on here sympathizing for a pedophile ??? You are all equally disgusting as this creep.
