Lee Charles Lubonne

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office arrested Lee Charles Lubonne after two alleged sexual-assault suspects described his house, vehicle, and identified him from a photo lineup.

Judging from what sex-crime detectives found in his house, the Sheriff's Office is thinking there's a "possibility" there may be more victims, and Lubonne, a 44-year-old father of two, "may" be a suspected serial sexual predator.

The items found at his house include various recording devices, a duffel bag filled with "sexual apparatus[es]," a bag of what detectives believe are "trophies" -- including medication bottles, printouts of profiles of women from social-networking websites, and maps -- as well as 13 hard drives and thumb drives locked in a safe, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Jeff Huelster, also known as "coach" and "Mr. Huelster" at Cortez High School.

Jeff Huelster, a teacher at Cortez High School -- and the school's head football coach -- is accused of sex crimes against children, including live-streaming video of his penis over the Internet to a person he thought was a minor.

In classic To Catch a Predator style, Huelster met the minor on an "Internet chat site," and things got sexual, according to court documents obtained by New Times.

Huelster, 44, had three different conversations with the youngster online, which included requests for sex acts, including oral sex and intercourse, according to the documents.

On the first chat, Huelster was live-streaming his penis across the Internet to the kid "while he solicited the minor for sexual acts," the court documents state.

According to the documents, Huelster only did this after he knew the person he was live-streaming his penis to was under age 18.

Paul Chapa

Paul Chapa says he "does a lot of stupid shit when he is drunk."

According to what police say he did to a girl beginning when she was 3 or 4 years old, that's an understatement.

According to court documents obtained by New Times, Chapa, a 49-year-old truck driver, is accused of doing a ton of nasty stuff to this little girl, going back to 2002.

Police only found out about this after someone intercepted a note the girl passed to a friend in school mentioning being abused by Chapa, which was forwarded to the school psychologist.

Luckily, the girl had the courage to tell the school psychologist what happened, and the psychologist ended up getting the authorities involved.

Scottsdale PD

Steven Dyer. He's going to prison.

In 2002, Scottsdale resident Steven Dyer was to face charges of molesting two boys. He said no thanks and went to Canada instead.

While he was gone, a court convicted him on a dozen counts of sexual conduct with a minor, which didn't mean much until he was caught in Canada in February.

According to the Canada Border Services Agency, investigators discovered Dyer had assumed the identity of a Canadian citizen and was living in Vancouver.

He was on a vacation from his vacation at the time, so Canadian authorities had to wait for his plane ride coming from Venezuela back to Canada, and arrested him upon his arrival at a Montreal airport.

If Warren Jeffs -- pedophile/leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints -- had any marbles left when he was sent to prison, he just lost the rest of them.

Jeffs, who's in prison for sexually assaulting two underage "brides," wrote a petition to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals -- allegedly co-authored by "Lord Jesus Christ" -- saying it's time for Jeffs to be released.

According to "Jesus Christ," he's going to be really pissed if Jeffs doesn't get out of prison "soon."

The FLDS headquarters of yore was based in Colorado City, along the Arizona/Utah border, but Jeffs moved the Church's headquarters to Texas after he faced criminal charges in Arizona.

After having a rape-related charge overturned in Utah, Jeffs was extradited to Texas to face charges for (you guessed it) raping kids, which he was convicted on and sentenced to life in prison.

Knight pleaded guilty to two counts of furnishing obscene or harmful items to a minor, as well as luring of a minor.

According to court documents previously obtained by New Times, the girl's father discovered text messages Knight had been sending his daughter and confronted her about them in October, including a message from Knight telling the girl she was "gorgeous" and saying he loved her.

Upon this conversation with her father, the girl admitted that Knight had sent a picture of his penis to her, but she'd deleted it.

The girl's father turned over the phone to police to see if they could recover any deleted images, and gave cops the go-ahead to pose as his daughter to send text messages to Knight.

Julian Titcomb

Julian Titcomb, a former volunteer basketball coach at a Valley elementary school, was sentenced today to six months in jail for sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl.

Titcomb, 22, was booked into jail on eight counts of sexual conduct with a minor in March 2011, but pleaded guilty in February to three counts of child abuse.

Titcomb was the victim's basketball coach at Phoenix Saint Catherine's Elementary School in 2010, the same year the two became Facebook friends, according to court documents obtained by New Times.

Titcomb initially told the girl he wished she was older so the two could hang out, but he then proposed the idea of being "friends with benefits" not long after that.

Michael Brown

Michael Brown, a former CVS pharmacy employee who was busted on child-porn charges in June 2010, pleaded guilty today to five related charges.

Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies arrested Brown after they received a tip that he had left several pornographic images of children in one of the store's photo kiosks.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio was upset at the time, since he said he was a frequent shopper at that very CVS location.

Brown, 51, was arrested on June 29, 2010, after sheriff's deputies conducted a search of his home near 17th Street and Union Hills Drive in Phoenix, where police found thousands of images of "child erotica," according to court documents.

Brandon K. Jones will be in prison for a while for his homemade video collection.

​A Mesa pervert who was already behind bars for sexually abusing a 5-year-old boy in January, 2011, then charged in April for sexually abusing a 1-year-old and others -- and videotaping it -- was sentenced yesterday to 35 years in prison.

Brandon K. Jones originally was arrested early last year after cops got word that he had  sexually abused the 5-year-old.

He was in jail for that incident, but when the cops did a forensic examination of Jones' laptop, detectives hit the mother lode.

On his computer, Mesa police say, Jones had video recordings of himself molesting the initial victim.
