A local self-admitted pedophile is on the run.

Jack McClellan says he left Washington to get away from media reports and the resulting angry moms.

For someone on the run, he's made it easy to track him down. McClellan has been blogging on line, and he's even turned what used to be his Washington pedophilia Web site into "Los Angeles Girl Live."

Even more surprising is the fact that McClellan is talking.

When a reporter from a TV station in southern California asked, "are you a pedophile?" he answered, "yes."

McClellan is now living out of his car in Los Angeles and trolling for little girls in public places.

Once he finds them, he brags about it on his pedophilia Web site. Instead of Washington festivals, he now ranks L.A. parks and festivals for girl sightings.

"It really isn't just a sexual thing. It's the whole ambiance of children that I enjoy," he said.

McClellan says he got tired of Washington moms trying to chase him out. He even blamed KOMO 4 News for the move. In his blog, he states he left Washington because of "the flurry of media hysteria" over his Web site. He also complains about yet "another KOMO-TV" report on him.

"I'm not doing anything illegal," he said.

But following news reports, lawmakers began the push to outlaw what he's doing in the state of Washington.

"I felt the best thing to do is get completely out of there," McClellan said.

The self-proclaimed pedophile first got heat in our state -when he posted pictures he took of unsuspecting girls. He eventually stopped posting pictures, but kept running his pedophile how-to guide Web site.

And now he's up to his old tricks in California, and even showed off pictures he's already taken of little girls.

Police said what McClellan is doing is legal and covered under his First Amendment rights. Advocacy groups are urging parents to turn the table on him and take his picture.

McClellan has already profiled 13 Los Angeles venues.
