Closed Remove known sex offenders from area where victim lives

Closed on

Convicted child sex offenders should not be allowed in the area where their victims live. Children who are sexually assaulted suffer - reliving the incident, not being able to sleep at night and having nightmares about the sex offender coming back.

A sex offender recently got a suspended sentence, time in rehab and 10 years on the sexual offenders register. The judge just allowed him to go home, in the same area as his victim. This is utterly unacceptable. Little children deserve not to live in fear!
