FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION THREE

THE PEOPLE,

Plaintiff and Respondent, G064679

v. (Super. Ct. No. M-20924)

JESSE TONY POLANCO, OPINION

Defendant and Appellant.

Appeal from a postjudgment order of the Superior Court of Orange County, Stephen J. McGreevy, Judge. Affirmed. Richard Jay Moller, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. No appearance by Plaintiff and Respondent.

Defendant Jesse Tony Polanco appeals an order denying his petition to terminate his obligation to register as a sex offender. Appointed counsel, having found no arguable issue in his review of the record, filed a brief setting forth the facts of the case and requesting that we independently review the record, which we have done.1 We have also advised Polanco of his right to file a written argument on his own behalf, but he has not done so. Finding no arguable basis to reverse, we affirm the trial court’s denial order. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In September 2000, Polanco was working as a security guard at a video game arcade in Santa Ana when a 12-year-old girl asked him for help getting a prize she had won. Polanco led the girl to the back of the arcade, lured her into the bathroom, and closed the door. Then he turned off the lights, pulled out his penis, and turned the lights back on. The girl told Polanco she had to leave and ran out of the bathroom. After zipping up his trousers, Polanco caught up to her and handed her a dollar before she left the arcade. The police were summoned, and when they asked Polanco about the incident, he initially denied any wrongdoing. But in response to further questioning, he admitted exposing himself to the girl, saying he “just wanted to see what she would do if she saw [his] dick.” Polanco ended up pleading guilty to charges of indecent exposure and annoying or molesting a child under the age of 18.
