John Robert Meraglia III, 44, who was convicted of a sex offense that allows for community notification, has advised the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) that he will be living on North Cleveland Street, in Paulden, according to a news release.
He is not wanted by the YCSO at this time.

The victim, a 13-year-old female, was known to him. On July 20, 2004, in Maricopa County, Meraglia was convicted of failure to register and was sentenced to four years of probation.

He is not on parole or probation, but is considered a level 3, high risk offender, the YCSO said.
“This notification is not intended to increase fear, rather it is the Sheriff’s Office belief that an informed community is a safer community. Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate, or harass sex offenders will not be tolerated,” YCSO stated in the news release.
