Rather surprised to see that there are several offenders living in the villages. thanks for the info Be Safe

[Russ_Boston]

It looks like these criminals are exclusively sex offenders.

Makes you wonder what other type of criminals are out there living next to you. Good info but take it with a grain of salt. There are sex offenders everywhere unfortunately. This is isn't isolated to FLA.

Check the dates on these convictions though -- 1993? You cannot always tell what kind of people these are now. Best to be wary when kids are involved, but people may change.

I am wary of those who where 19 and had consentual sex with their 16 yr old girlfriends but not nonconsentul even over 10 years ago.

[redwitch]

I do wish that sites like these didn't lump all sex offenders in the same category. It is one thing to rape a woman or molest a child. It is another thing to have consensual sex with your girl friend even if you are legally an "adult" and she's a minor.

As to others convicted of a crime, does it matter if they're your neighbor if they have paid for their crime either through prison terms and/or fines, completed their probation and are now good neighbors? Judge by who people are, not what they have done in the past. We all make mistakes. Some people get caught, most of us get away with our crimes.

This information has been available for years. If you are concerned sign up to be notified of any changes by registering on line. You'll be automatically emailed on their arrival and departure from your neighborhood. Scary but such is life.

[Russ_Boston]

Red - I take small exception to your statement that most of us get away with our crimes. I think I know what you mean (cheating on taxes, speeding etc.) but not crimes in the nature of sex offenders. I know that level 1 offenders really need a break since most of these are minor but level 2's and especially level 3's are no friends of mine. I'm not saying that they can't live in my neighboorhod but I'll at least be very wary of them. SOME crimes are not forgivable in my opinion.

[redwitch]

Russ, read my post again. To me, sex offenders are heinous. What I object to is that any sex offense is lumped into one category. A man who rapes a woman or molests a child should, at the very least, be castrated in my mind. This is not a person who should be allowed near females or children (depending on which offense was committed).

I know of a young man who has to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. He was 18. His girl friend was 15 (almost 16). The girl's father caught them together and pressed charges for statutory rape. That, to me, is not a sex offender but to the law and to this site he is.

And, yes, I was referring to speeding, tax short cuts, etc. If you read my second paragraph carefully, I did start it with "as to others convicted of a crime" ....

[Hope2b]

:agree
BUT the one I talked about was not in that category

[logdog]

According to some studies (and this is a controversial issue), the recidivism rate among some classes of sex offenders exceeds 50% over a 25 year period. I agree that people can change but with a repeat rate that high, I would be very weary indeed. Watch "To Catch a Predator" on MSNBC to see how creepy these guys really are. It's an addiction. Some had seen the show before and still couldn't help themselves from showing up to meet children at the sting house. And some were also in their 60s as well as ministers and teachers.

I'd like to see more information on these people posted in web-sites on sexual offenders like the one for FL. They do not seem to give that much details on the crimes involved, if the adjudication were part of a plea deal, and the exact ages of the victims. Of course, they should leave details about the victims out except for age and maybe county.

These sites seem to go for the emotional re-action of labelling many people as immediate threats to kids and women when this may be far from the truth. You really have to know more about each offender to determine if the person really is like the creeps who show up on "To Catch a Predator".
