10 Disturbing Details Surrounding Arturo Martinez, Who Was Arrested For Attempting To Lure Minors Into His Home

6 /10 The STATIC-99

Law enforcement agencies throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and European countries use a risk prediction instrument called the “STATIC-99” to determine the probability of sexual offenders – who have been convicted of at least one sexual offense against a child or non-consenting adult – committing similar crimes.

The instrument predicts whether any first-time sexual offenders will make another or more attempts to violate the law in more or less the same fashion as before.

California Megan’s Law website says the risk assessment is not unlike the method used to determine rates for life insurance.

5 /10 Risk Assessment, Score: 6

In the STATIC-99 risk assessment score, any number smaller than zero is considered a below-average risk. The most miniature possible score is -3, indicating a shallow risk of reconviction.

An offender with a score of 4 or 5 is listed under the “above average risk” category, meaning there is a rather alarming likelihood that the individual will commit a new sexual offense.

Martinez receives a score of 6 in the STATIC-99 risk assessment form; a numerical score of 6 – 12 is for any convicted sex offender with a “well above average risk” of repeated offense. Risk assessment did not begin until 2006.

4 /10 California Penal Code

There are two offenses listed in Martinez’s registration on Megan’s Law. He was first convicted on the charges of Indecent Exposure (California Penal Code 314.1).

In California, a crime of indecent exposure happens when someone exposes their genitals or naked body in front of anyone who finds the gesture offensive or annoying.

Any willful and lewd exposure of sexual nature, regardless of location (public and private), falls under the penal code. His 2019 arrest resulted in a second conviction for California Penal Code 288.4 (a) (2).

3 /10 Identification

One mugshot of Martinez shows him with plenty of studs in piercings on his nose, ears, and lips. Many of the piercings are empty in the most recent booking photo, but he has two noticeable “horn” implants under the forehead skin.

The sex offender is a bald brown eye Hispanic in his 40s. He also has scars, marks, or tattoos in various noticeable parts, including the left forearm, right wrist, left wrist, right hand, and back.

Known aliases include Alfredo Martinez and Enrique Escobar.

2 /10 Three Tiers Sex Offender Registry

California’s sex registration system uses three tiers of categorization. The lowest level sex offenders are assigned to Tier One; they are required by law to put their information and keep it updated on the registry for a minimum of 10 years.

Tier Two carries mandatory registration for a minimum of 20 years, while Tier Three means lifetime registration.

Martinez’s first and second convictions are both in the Tier One category. They are not severe crimes where victims are abused or assaulted in the most obvious way.

1 /10 Megan's Law

California Department of Justice’s Sex Offender Tracking Program keeps a list of registered sex offenders for public safety purposes.

While the list is generally accessible by the public, the data is far from complete. Some offenders are not on the list at all, depending on the specifics of the case.

Personal information in the list includes name, photo, the offense, and identifying attributes such as weight, height, known aliases, tattoos, and so on.

Thanks to the repository, it gets easier for anyone to report or practice extra safety measures when any known registrant is present.
