San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's detectives, including the Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE) team spotted a known sex offender in downtown San Luis Obispo on Wed afternoon. One of the SAFE team detectives recognized the man from a previous child pornography case. As one detective followed the man, another checked the probation terms of the registered sex offender. They followed the man to the Apple store on Higuera St. where he entered and began to log on to the internet from a display computer. Another detective went to the computer next to the man and logged on to the Megan’s law website. At about the same time the probation term information was received that clearly indicated McGuire was prohibited from using the internet. McGuire had logged on to his Facebook page.
McGuire was taken into custody without incident after he left the store. McGuire made a statement to detectives that he thought he was being followed after the man standing next to him logged onto the Megan's Law site.
McGuire is being held without bail at the San Luis Obispo County Jail.
Booking photo release authorized.
