Jeffrey Boushee Jeffrey Boushee An arrest warrant is out for a registered sex offender from Connecticut for allegedly exchanging explicit photos with a 13-year-old Thousand Oaks girl and engaging in lewd acts using a webcam.

Jeffrey Boushee, 27, of Norwich, Conn., was arrested in his home state for an alleged probation violation of having child pornography on his home computer.

The alleged Internet predator was said to have been brought to the attention of Thousand Oaks police after the child felt she was doing something wrong and told her parents of her online relationship with a stranger.

After the girl's parents contacted police, Thousand Oaks Detective Anthony Aguirre, a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, assumed the identity of the alleged victim. He continued to communicate online with Boushee and obtained additional evidence, authorities said.
