The girlfriend of a fugitive sex offender was arrested Sunday and deputies need your help in locating the man believed to be traveling in the state.
Registered sexual offender 62-year-old Bradley Begens, has an active warrant for 19 felony registration violations. He was convicted of attempted sexual battery of a person under 12 in Broward County in 1993.
According to deputies, he is believed to be going back and forth between Sebring and Bonita Springs.
Deputies say his girlfriend, Doreen Turner, was arrested Sunday on felony charges of withholding information and providing false information related to a sexual offender’s non-compliance for interfering in investigators’ attempts to locate and arrest him.
She has since bonded out of jail.
