Steven Michael Conklin - Repeat Sex Offender

Originally convicted for
LEWD OR LASCIVIOUS ACTS WITH CHILD UNDER 14 YEARS W/FORCE

A convicted sex offender being held on charges that include failing to register as a sex offender and possession of child pornography could spend the rest of his life in jail if convicted.

Steven Michael Conklin, 44, of West Covina, is being held in lieu of $1,000,000 bail at Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles. He was located by U.S. federal agents in the Ukraine, where he had been staying with a female friend, authorities said.

Deputy District Attorney Robert Serna said he is not aware of any crimes committed overseas. He said Conklin returned to West Covina voluntarily and turned himself in to police after learning of his arrest warrant.

His next court date is Feb. 22.
