The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office added a special bulletin to its Web site today about escaped child rapist Adrian Cruz, displaying more photos of Cruz in the hopes someone will spot him. Scroll down to see the new pictures.

“It’s not necessarily that he doesn’t prefer one over the other – he wants to get his sexual appetite fed any way he can. So it doesn’t matter whether he’ll take women, men or young girls.”
Here are the photos:
Officials ask that anyone who sees Cruz call Detective J. White at 602-876-1000.
