Three sex offenders with North Shore ties on Friday were added to the state's "most wanted" list of sex offenders.

The offenders are:

• Caleb M. Donatiu, 32 years old. Wanted for failure to register as a sex offender and failure to provide a sample to the DNA database as required by law. He is required to register and provide the sample as a result of a 2008 conviction in Essex County for indecent assault and battery on a child under 14. The conviction stemmed from an incident in which Donatiu followed an 11-year-old girl as she walked along several blocks in Salem before ultimately grabbing her and forcing her into an alley, where he assaulted her. Donatiu has previous ties to Everett, Peabody, Lynn and Boston.
• Reggie C. Ellenwood, 58. Wanted for failure to register as a sex offender, which he was required by law to do as a result of his 1992 convictions in Essex County for eight counts of rape of a child and six counts of indecent assault and battery. The victims in the case were two pre-teenage girls whom Ellenwood sexually assaulted repeatedly over an extended period of time. He also has previous convictions in Massachusetts for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (rifle) and accosting. He has past ties to Haverhill, Lynn, Boston and Lawrence.
• Lenny E. Santiago, 35. Wanted for failure to register as a sex offender, which he is required by law to do as a result of a 2002 conviction for two counts of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older and three counts of open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior. The victims in this case were three women who were complete strangers to Santiago, two of whom were jogging on the street, the third pushing a baby stroller, in Methuen. Santiago has a previous conviction in Massachusetts for failure to register, as well as a Pennsylvania conviction for aggravated assault.
