According to Attorney General Gordon C. Rhea, Greeran, a registered sex offender, did not appear for his mandatory annual registration update on October 28, 2024, at the VIDOJ, nor has he updated his information since. His last recorded registration occurred on October 27, 2023.

Greeran was convicted in California for child pornography with the intent to sell or distribute. After relocating to St Croix, he was first registered as a sex offender in the Virgin Islands on October 28, 2022. As a Tier 1 sex offender, Greeran is legally required to update his registration annually for 15 years, in accordance with Chapter 86, Section 1722 of Title 14 of the Virgin Islands Code.

Description

Authorities have provided a description of Greeran to aid in locating him. He is a white male, standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. He has blond hair and blue eyes.

The public is urged to report any information regarding Greeran’s whereabouts by contacting the VIDOJ’s Sexual Offender Registry (SORNA) unit at (340) 772-0295 ext. 20251 or (340) 774-5666 ext. 10191 or ext. 20250. Reports can also be made to the Special Investigation Division at (340) 774-5666 ext. 10351 or by dialing 911.

VIDOJ’s Special Agents, in collaboration with the SORNA unit, U.S. Marshals, and other law enforcement agencies, regularly conduct unannounced inspections of registered sex offenders. These inspections ensure compliance with the law by verifying offenders’ locations, work and home addresses, and other personal details.

Sex offenders in the US Virgin Islands must report and maintain updated records regarding their name, residence, temporary lodging, vehicle ownership, internet identifiers, telephone numbers, school enrollment, and employment status. Those who fail to comply face prosecution by the Attorney General's Office.

Failure to register or update information as required by law carries significant legal consequences. Offenders may be subject to a fine ranging from $3,000 to $5,000, imprisonment for a period between three months and two years, or both.

Additionally, assisting a sex offender in evading registration requirements is a criminal offense. Those found guilty may face a fine between $1,000 and $2,000, imprisonment for up to six months, or both.
