Sex Offender Reports Move To Mount Vernon From New Rochelle

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services issued an alert this week to Westchester residents regarding the residency of 40-year-old Sampson Siepo, who has moved from a residence in New Rochelle to an apartment on Fulton Avenue in Mount Vernon.

The Division of Criminal Justice Services has assigned Siepo as a Level 2 threat, which means he is at "moderate risk of a repeat offense."

According to the Division of Criminal Justice Services, Siepo had sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old girl in September 2015. His victim was not a stranger, and was a student of Siepo's, according to the Division of Criminal Justice Services. He was arrested by the New York City Police Department Sex Offender Unit and convicted of third-degree rape of a victim less than 17 years old the following year. 

Siepo was subsequently sentenced to 10 years probation. He is now under the jurisdiction of the Mount Vernon City Police Department.
