A twice-deported sex offender, with convictions dating back to 1996, was caught in Connecticut for the third time. Jose Raul Maita, 55, was arrested in Southbury on September 20, 2025, for operating a vehicle without a license and driving under the influence.
According to court documents, Maita had previously been convicted of sexual abuse of a 9-year-old in 1998, and was required to register as a sex offender. He was deported to Ecuador in 2003, but reentered the US and was convicted again of failure to register as a sex offender in 2007.
Maita was deported once more in 2009, but was arrested again in 2025 after providing a false identity and date of birth to the Connecticut State Police.
Maita pleaded guilty to unlawful reentry of a removed alien in Hartford federal court, facing serious consequences for his repeated crimes.
