LOS ANGELES -- A curious dog is being credited with literally digging up new evidence against a convicted child molester in Ventura County.
The bloodhound dug up Polaroid pictures and two videotapes in the backyard of a home in Oxnard.
The new resident of the home called police who were able to identity the 3-year-old girl in the pictures, which were taken 11 years ago.
Detectives say the videotapes show a former resident of the home engaging in sex acts with the child.
Authorities have identified him as Jack Sobonya, a convicted sex offender who's currently at Atascadero State Hospital.
Investigators believe Sobonya molested the little girl at his mother's home in Ojai in 1993.
He lived in several parts of the county over the years and now authorities are looking for more potential victims.
Sobonya will face five molestation charges stemming from the pictures and videotape.

a convicted sex offender who's currently at Atascadero State Hospital Does the word "hospital" mean "cemetery?" It should.

Explains why Buddy stayed locked in the WH basement.

Now the creep who did this needs to be introduced to another breed or two of dog. Might I suggest Pit Bull, Doberman, Rottweiler, Mastiff or all of the above? I think evidence like this should be grounds for summary execution.

I was thinking maybe for vivisection experiments.

What a good dog. Mine would have probably just chewed them up then peed on them.

Give the dog lots of steak.
I'd feed the moslester to a shark or two, but that would be cruelty to animals.

Would anyone know if this hospital is located near a mud pit or gravel pit, for example. Just curious because "Atascadero" translates as a mud hole or ditch or similar.
