What is the web address for the site that tells you if and where there are any registered sex offenders in your city?
Because my neighbor informed me (he is well informed) that the guys living nearby are such.
He found it on the web.
I believe it, one of the guys look so smarmy, he reminds me a lot of John Waters, lookswise, even the way he dresses.
My neighbor said it listed that he was busted for lesbian porn movies.
weird…
Each state maintains it’s own sex offender web site. A google search will certainly turn up one for Ohio (it turned up one for Tennessee, I know because I know someone on Tennessee’s list).
Gak.
Found him.
I am amazed there are so many offenders within walking distance.
One guy lives a 5 minute walk around the corner and up the street who is listed a s4 rapes!!!
Alabama is looking better.
Now I know the guys name.
I doubt he’s harmful to my son, being how he apparnetly used a minor female for nudity.
My son is never outside without me and the guy, and the guy who lives with him, don’t make eye contact with anyone it seems.
Yeah, it’s kind of a shock when you discover how many are in a lot of neighborhoods. At least in Michigan, though, the registry is so vague that it’s not clear whether they are predators or teenage guys who ended up with a statutory rape conviction for having sex with their girlfriends. Fortunately there’s some national effort to make the registries a little more useful by getting rid of the nondangerous offenders.
a lot are listed as gross sexual imposition.
I don’t know what they mean by that.
If you were in North Dakota, this link will give you explanations for a variety of different ways to offend in that fashion:

It is likely that the crime is similar but not identical in many other states.
Am I the only one that finds this more than a little disturbing?
No, you’re not. I, too, had a proverbial jaw drop when I read it.
:eek:
holy crap. the guy 3 houses down the road is on the list.
at least the roommate with the kid is gone so he isn’t here to be possibly portuned by the greasy scumball! 
/raises hand
I’m not smarmy or strange-looking. However, I am a never-married single male who lives by himself, on a street that is filled almost entirely with families, many with small children. I like kids, but I avoid them, because I know people are already suspicious of me; you know, the horror stories about the stereotypical quiet guy down the block who never causes trouble, but has stacks of bodies piled up in the basement like cordwood.
Just how are we supposed to look in order to pass muster in your neighborhood, Vanilla?
[QUOTE=elmwood you know, the horror stories about the stereotypical quiet guy down the block who never causes trouble, but has stacks of bodies piled up in the basement like cordwood.[/QUOTE]
How are your stacks piled up? Like lincoln logs?
So, if a sex offender moves into the neighborhood, what is an appropriate house warming gift?
No, that’s too much of a pain–you have to sort them by size. Just stack them lengthwise. Or better yet, take them out and bury them in the back yard in the middle of the night. :rolleyes:
A few years ago our block had its first block party on the Neighborhood Night Out. The theme was Take Back the Neighborhood, or something like that. The lady who organized it had tried to get information on various criminals living in the neighborhood, to no avail. The spinsterish little old lady who lives next door to us and runs an in-home daycare said, “Hang on a minute…”, went inside, and came back out with a handful of papers she passed around. “Daycare providers get notification of all level 2 sex offenders moving into the neighborhood.”
“Cool,” we said. “We’re not supposed to be reading this, are we?”
“Well, they never said not to show them to anybody…”
ummmmmm…saltpeter?
Holy crap.
I looked up the ZIP code from my high school home. There’s a gentleman listed there that used to go to the health club where I worked.
He used to bring kids in with him to swim in the pool. Pay a day rate for them, and then waltz back to the pool area with them.
Now I find out he’s a registered sex offender.
I’m not sure how I should feel about that.
Not like John Waters, apparently.
Waters lives only about a mile or so from me. If i see him walking the street, i’ll be sure to let him know he looks “smarmy.”
John Waters DOESN’T look smarmy.
This guy does. Its a general feel, a sense.
He just happen to RESEMBLE John physcially, nothing wrong with that, I admire John.
And I mean John back in the early 70’s when he deliberately looked smarmy.
I guess I can sense things really well, and its this smarmy sense about this guy.
Guys living alone, or with other guys or whatever doesn’t bother me, there was something about the guy before I found out.
Which actually reminds me that in a mall a few weeks ago, we passed this man, a very tall man with jet black hair wearing a gold shiny lame top and pants.
I thought he was there to perform or something, but not.
:dubious:
I have always had a problem with being able to find out about all sex offenders. Suppose my girlfriend and I were caught in an interesting situation behind some trees in a local park. As I understand it, we are suddenly sex offenders who will be marked as such wherever we go. Also, as has been pointed out, many of the ways they describe things are very general, so no one would know exactly what happened and may take me for a child molestor. That always goes over well with new neighbors.
