According to the sheriff's office, Steven John Long is moving into the community with a registered address of 534 Loomis Avenue, which is located in the Stratmoor Hills area.

The sheriff's office says Long's past behavior has led him to be labeled as a SVP. He was convicted of the following incidents:

  • unlawful sexual contact in Lewiston, Maine in 2010
  • indecent assault and battery, child under 14 in Haverhill, Massachusetts in 2003

  • We will not use mugshots on any platform – unless:
    • The mugshot is for a wanted person
    • If there could be other victims (Example: child predators)
    • If the person could pose a future threat to the community (Example: Sexually Violent Predator designation)
