EL PASO COUNTY — In accordance with state law, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office is notifying the community of a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) who has moved to Colorado Springs.
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
