Most people say that until they find out they move in their area. Nothing incendiary about this comment and I certainly don't believe people change that are like that, and don't want them around my family. Sorry I'm not a bleeding heart person!

She can’t help it. She sees the boogie man around every corner. One day it’s the solar technicians. The next day it’s registered sex offenders. Tomorrow it’ll be last month’s home invasion.

[alwann]

Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement has a website that shows by neighborhood where sex offenders have registered an address, in case this is a concern for you. I wish they listed addresses of those neighbors who've been convicted of drunk-driving so I'd know to be careful walking by their homes.

I would like people who put out such nonsense to stay away from me and my family. They are currently toxic as opposed to something in someone's past.

So what's your point? You want to organize a lynching party? If you have one in your neighborhood and don't like it move. This post is totally incendiary and serves no purpose.

Very simple to warn people, let them live next to everyone with a bleeding heart, I don't want them around my grandkids is that simple enough!
Why do you think they have to be registered sex offenders,the state and federal government is warning people!

So I guess you are not concerned about the drunks, drug addicts, thieves and such that most assuredly also live here. Now we also have the airbnb renters who can be spring break kids or worse. Did you really move here thinking it was some sort of Utopia?

The Villages is such a nice place to live. I do not understand the people who are always looking for a problem.

[Velvet]

Seriously, I thought this thread was going to name the retired head of a major hospital in NY, a ranked member of NASA, a well-known name in golf championships etc all people I chat with at my neighborhood pool. If there are any child molesters I guess they haven’t introduced themselves yet.

Boy if you think the registered sex offenders are a problem, just wait til you find out about all the sex offenders who haven't been caught yet.

Here's a clue: most of these sex offenders living in and near the Villages have committed crimes against minor children. Minor children don't live in the Villages, and those sex offenders just don't find you compelling. If you have grandkids, you shouldn't be letting them wander around the Villages unattended, so you should have nothing to worry about.

Of course not, I am concerned of that as well. It's not the happiest home town and there is a lot of bad actors here as well. Just look at some of these posts attacking me for making people aware. There's a lot of bleeding heart people here, let them have all the bad behaved people in their neighborhoods, maybe they will then have a different opinion.

Making people aware of something that happened a month ago isn't "just making people aware." It's not "just" anything. It's intentionally goading people. It's creating conflict "just" so you can cry foul. Or maybe you "simply" want an excuse to call people who have lives outside your angry world "bleeding heart people."

I'm "merely" pointing out to you that your "just/only/merely/simply/only" is obviously not very effective. If it were, everyone would agree with you.

Can’t Rehabilitate a sex offender! Pretending it’s not a problem is the Problem

[lorilorilori]

Sex offender live among us.

we need open records and registry on ALL FELONS or NO FELONS.
No reason to single out one felony over the other.
History shows us that those in the name, blame game have made
millions off this one crime - like John Walsh now worth over a
hundred million.

[GizmoWhiskers]

There are probably several. They have served their time. Let them live in peace.
Some have and some do deserve the break. Others may not. I lived nextdoor to one rso for a while who was a very nice man. He did his time for being with a girl who said she was 20 when she wasn't and all hell broke loose on him. He did his time and has his life long scarlet letter now. He's was a great neighbor.

There are a lot of rso who are not nice. Lived around the corner from one here in T V who tried to slowly back me into a comprimising position as I was washing my car one day as a newbie to T V. I recognized what he was doing and quickly moved away. From that moment on my guard was up. I did not harass him but I did not interact with him. One cannot assume that age of victim disqualifies a victim, even in T V.

Agree with don't go on a war path toward a neighbor who has done their time and has a scarlet letter now. EVERYONE has a story and testimony to tell. There are no perfect people - hence the concept of grace. Respect is a two way street.

FL, thank God, has a judicial process that is still in use. Retired people have plenty of time to be vigilant and observant to protect the vulnerable. That person wearing a scarlet letter could just be the person to "see something and say something" that FL law makers are encouraging. Needless to say, I for one do like a locked door at night... even here in T V.

I knew a guy convicted of statutory rape when he was in a consensual relationship with a girl that was 16. He was 18. He is labeled a sex offender for the rest of his life. When he moves anywhere he had to register. His neighbors had no idea he wasn't a child rapist.

Here's the link. You can search by name, or neighborhood. You can also sign up for notifications. There will be a detailed file for each offender.

The system is in place for good reasons, to protect the public and inform citizens.

I get an alert from my ID theft service every time one registers. With so few children and schools a retirement community is a magnet for those trying to comply with restrictions on this location, I guess.

[HJBeck]

Sheriffs web site.Lat count I had seen was close to 100 in TV area an 20+ in TV PROPER. Just go to the Sumter County Sheriff’s website.

[Justputt]

Most adults know the registry exists, and maybe we don't feel a need to check it. Belittling someone that has a concern ignores their life experiences which may give them cause for concern. Yes, people have done their time, so live and let live. In the end, whenever children are around, I hope we are all watching out for them. I suspect there are far more DUIs, caught and uncaught in TV then almost anything else, and they are a danger to all.

[airstreamingypsy]

Well, that didn't quite go the way you expected. No one grabbed their pitchforks and formed a mob. What were you expecting...... there are sex offenders everywhere. Better here where there are no children I say.

[Dotneko]

In any population of 150,000 ish, you can expect a certain percentage of rapists, murderers, adulterers, thieves. Did you believe the Villages was different than the rest of the world in that respect?

[Toymeister]

Chellybean, you have the beginnings of a business model:

-We screen your neighbors for offender status

-We screen your contractors and their employees

-We will monitor contractors to ensure no trespassing

[KsJayhawkers]

I never knew there were so many child molester, rapist loving members of our community who have come to defend these monsters on this site. A quick search of FDLE's website shows there are a number of sex offenders living in Florida's Friendliest Home Town.

[JoelJohnson]

At least one, Earl Knight of St. Andrews, is serving a 40 month sentence for recording his own teenage granddaughters, in the nude, in his own house. His wife bailed him out and lives with him. I knew this pervert for 20 years and had no idea what he was.

I’m not surprised there are quite a few sex offenders living in TV,

I am not surprised, lots of bleeding hearts and entitled people here. A simple warning is all it was. So when your grandchildren or elderly parents are here you keep a closer eye on them, especially if these sex offenders are in your neighborhood.
The fact of this offender was a group home manager of an elderly group home and did it to 3 different woman and his wife was charged also.
Sex offenders don't change that's why the state and federal government has a registry! I do understand also that some of these offenders are wrongly charged, but not this one!

[JSR22]

I have lived in V more than 12 years. Not once have I heard of a visiting child being molested by a non family member. The few incidents have been Grandfathers with their Grandchildren. The sky is not falling.

[MrLonzo]

What is a "sex offender"? If you're going to talk about sex offenders, why self-censure? Name the offense that was committed!

I Googled "sex offender" and came up with this:
a person who has been convicted of a crime involving a sexual act including rape, sexual abuse, prostitution, sex trafficking, and production or distribution of child pornography

Is 'rape' in the same class as 'prostitution'? And what is 'sexual abuse'? Another meaningless catchall. Google's AI description ends with the caveat: "...sex offender laws vary by jurisdiction, and certain sexual behaviors that are illegal in one state may be legal in another".

My point is it's meaningless to talk about 'sex offense' without describing the actual behavior.

[4$ALE]

I'm trying to figure out why you want to post the names of people you "don't want around your family"
Meantime you post anonymously...I'm assuming Chellybean is not on your birth certificate.

How does that differ from you calling people "white supremacists"?

[Two Bills]

I remember the local case of the young lad whose underage girl friend sneaked out of her house, and drove across town to spend the night with him.
Her mother reported him, and he was found guilty of having sex with a minor, and is now branded as a sex offender.
Not all the apples in the basket are as moldy as all the others.

As I said - and still maintain: the ones who haven't yet been caught are the ones you should worry about. Or not, because life is too short to obsess about things you have no control over.

I'm a female that has lived in The Villages since 2014 and this is my second home. I moved from the first one because of a menacing registered young man who lived with his parents a few doors down from me. It's not a comfortable feeling. I'm suprised at the negative and insulting comments directed at "Chellybean".

Most people living in The Villages are not bleeding hearts, But we do not need you to tell us News like this. There are ALERT SITES, so
we know where to look. It's that simple!

If you have visiting grand kids that you're concerned about, keep them close. In Fact, there's a lot of reasons to keep a watchful eye on your grandkids. Ask them to see their phone!!!
Then tell them, it's not because you don't trust them.... It's because you love them!!

[Velvet]

My relatives have been living in TV since 1992, in different villages and we have never come across a problem with a sex offender. It may be just luck but I also don’t know anyone else (in real life) who has. But in my opinion, since sexual attraction towards children cannot be cured, there is no reason to ever let such people back into society. They are always a danger. Sometimes however, sex offense is attached to much milder cases too, and that is different. Personally, I am not in the least worried about grandkids. They are never “babysat” by other people and certainly not by people I don’t know. I worry more about a nuclear war started by North Korea.

[mirish54@gmail.com]

Always good to be aware. I worked the Sex Offender Unit for a Florida Sheriff’s Office. If people are concerned they can check the Florida Sex Offender website for a map showing addresses for all registered offenders and predators. There are very strict laws pertaining to offenders, such as, can’t visit a park while children are present, have to live 1000 ft. from a home where children are living, can’t utilize a family pool. Offenders must register annually with updated picture and address changes. Predators must register 4 times per year. Any deviation from following these laws should put the offender back in jail or prison. It is the Sheriff’s responsibility to make sure these registrations and pictures are up to date. Last I checked, we had an incident with an offender at our community pool…checked his registration…picture hadn’t been updated since 2013. Yes, many can and do follow the laws, but some don’t. If your grandchildren our visiting, just be mindful. The map on the website shows a significant offender population in the Villages area.

[mirish54@gmail.com]

If this offender from Wisconsin is here on vacation or residency, he has 48 hours to register with the local Sheriff’s office. If he doesn’t he has broken the law and should be arrested. Florida has some of the strictest offender laws in the Country.

I wouldn’t trust myself with the anger I feel towards such an individual.I have lived in the Villages 20+ years. When it comes to crime, it is like any other community. There are bad seeds whom we read about in the news. We even get to see their mugshots. Remember, "Florida's Friendliest Hometown" is a marketing gimmick. Keep your guard up as you would in any outside community.

From the top of my head, here are crimes committed in the past few months.

Man believes his Lexus was struck beats an 87 yr old man to death

Theft, theft, and more theft

A woman's home is broken into; her purse and car are stolen

A man breaks into a woman"s home tries to jump on top of her but woman fends him off

Drug busts, drug busts, and more drug busts

Shooting murder at Applebees near Spanish Springs

Drive by shooting at a gas station in Wildwood

DUI, DUI and more DUI

Man punches an elderly man because he took his golf ball

Lady Lake police request serving of alcohol to stop at midnight in Spanish Springs. This idea was an attempt to curtail quite a bit of crime that happens in the early hours.

These are the crimes I remember. Most likely, there are more.

Again, keep your guard up. It seems those who believe nothing can happen in this "wonderful bubble" are the ones who get harmed.

[CTFORSBERG]

Despite tougher security measures to keep sexual offenders out of schools, there is no law banning parents convicted of sex crimes from visiting schools their children attend. They can visit classrooms and attend most activities if they have visitation or custodial rights, the conditions of their release allow it, or they're no longer on probation.

Better example.

Seems like things are as they should be. They have not had their parental rights taken away so they are allowed to do what parents do. The problem is the people grabbing pitchforks.

[Parnell]

I hate seeing posts where the writer self righteously calls out a sex offender who is living in the Villages. How should I respond to knowing this? Stay in my house, avoid being neighborly, keep my non existing children locked in the house? Or let him/her live in peace to deal with their own past behavior. While their "crime" is subject to repetition, why humiliate, taunt and otherwise destroy someone who is trying to cope with this compulsion.
