Authorities in the U.S. Virgin Islands are searching for Steven Thomas Greeran, 42, who is wanted for failing to comply with sex offender registration laws, Attorney General Gordon C. Rhea announced.
Greeran, convicted in California for child pornography with intent to sell or distribute, last registered with the Virgin Islands Justice Department Oct. 27, 2023. He was required to update his registration by Oct. 28, 2024, but failed to appear. As a registered Tier 1 sex offender, he must check in annually for 15 years, according to the press release.
Greeran, who resides on St. Croix, is described as white, 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact the SORNA unit at 340-772-0295 ext. 20251, 340-774-5666 ext. 10191 or ext. 20250, or the Special Investigation Division at 340-774-5666 ext. 10351. Reports can also be made by calling 911.
VIDOJ special agents, in coordination with the U.S. Marshals and other agencies, conduct unannounced inspections of registered sex offenders to verify compliance. Offenders must keep authorities updated on their name, address, work, school, vehicles, and online identifiers, the press release stated.
Failing to register carries penalties of up to $5,000 in fines and two years in prison. Assisting an offender in avoiding registration can result in six months in jail and fines up to $2,000, the release stated.
The Virgin Islands sex offender registry is available to the public at usvi.nsopw.gov.
