Cops and Courts

A registered sex offender groped an 11-year-old girl at Downtown Disney early Wednesday, deputies said. Orange County deputies arrested Jose Angel Pamblanco Morales, 24, on a charge of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12. He was held without bail at the Orange County Jail. Deputies received the call to Downtown Disney Westside shortly after midnight. Morales had left that area and was spotted in front of the BET Club at Pleasure Island. The victim identified Morales as the man who grabbed her. Morales, of Vista Palma Way in Orlando, was arrested in 2004 on charges of lewd and lascivious exhibition of a child under 16 and exposure of sexual organs, State Attorney's Office spokeswoman Danielle Tavernier said. He was sentenced to three years but served 17 months and was released in May 2007.
