YCSO was honored to be part of Amberly’s Place’s 2nd Annual Domestic Violence Conference this week.

Sheriff Leon Wilmot joined community professionals for the opening of the two-day conference and spoke about the ManUpCrusade & the importance of taking a stand against domestic violence.

It was a valuable opportunity to bring together those who work with DV victims, families, and offenders in our community.

We are lucky to have a such an extraordinary family advocacy organization available in Yuma, thank you Amberly’s Place 💜

Level 1 S*x Offender Notification
Robert James Huff
New Address: 14208 E. 29th Place – Yuma, Az 85365

The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) is releasing the following information pursuant to A.R.S. 13-3825, the Community Notification on S*x Offenders Law. The offender in this publication is living within Yuma County. It is the responsibility of the Chief Law Enforcement Office having jurisdiction where the offender resides to make notification to the community. Notification must be made when certain s*x offenders are released from the Arizona State Prison, accepted under an interstate compact or released from the county jail back into the community. Offenders are categorized into three levels: Level One (low risk to the community), Level Two (intermediate risk to the community), and Level Three (high risk to the community).

The individual who appears on this notification, Robert Huff, 68, has been convicted of a s*x offense that allows for community notification. Robert Huff has advised the YCSO that he is residing at 14208 E. 29th Place in Yuma, Arizona. He is described as 5 feet, 9 inches tall, 165 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He is not wanted by the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office at this time.

On July 8, 1999, Huff pled guilty to one count of S*xual Battery in the Okaloosa County Circuit Court in Crestview, Florida. He was sentenced to 108 months in the Florida Department of Corrections with credit for 73 days of time served. His victim was a female juvenile known to him.

Robert James Huff is considered a Level 1 s*x offender with a low risk to reoffend.

This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather, it is our belief that an informed community is a safer community. The YCSO has no legal authority to direct where a s*x offender may or may not live. Unless court ordered restrictions exist, this offender is constitutionally free to live wherever he/she chooses. Citizen abuses of this information to threaten, intimidate, or harass s*x offenders will not be tolerated. S*x Offenders have always lived in our communities; but because of Megan’s law, law enforcement is now able to share this information with you.

The YCSO would like to remind the public of the registered s*x offender and community notification program OffenderWatch. To register for free email alerts or search for s*x offenders in your area, please visit the YCSO OffenderWatch page.

If you have information regarding current criminal activity on this or any other offender, please call the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office at (928) 783-4427.
