EL CAJON, Calif. — Two sex offenders, who were just released from prison, were arrested again in El Cajon. The men are accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old at a motel. A major concern for city leaders is the assistance program that led the men to that motel. One of the offenders was staying at the Motel Six through a voucher from the PATH program. The city held an emergency city council meeting Tuesday to discuss hotel vouchers. "We just see these incidents like we had over the last weekend and think it's just the tip of the iceberg," said City Manager Graham Mitchell.
