HOW ACCURATE IS COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION OF REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS?

 

ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING NEWS STORIES, NOT VERY ACCURATE AT ALL AND THE CONSEQUENCES CAN BE DIRE

One has to wonder just how often this sort of thing happens. For example, I got a flyer on an RSO moving into an apartment complex near me. I know for a fact this person no longer lives there because they are no longer listed on the website. However, no flyer was sent out saying that the person had moved. So one has to wonder how many people erroneously believe a RSO still lives in that unit. The people that moved into the unit after this person probably have absolutely no idea either that their neighbors think they have a RSO living there. Now the "stigma" is passed on to them. I have yet to find a single case where the community is notified when the ex-offender moves out of the area.

Human Rights Watch pointed similar problems out in their report on sex offender laws which was released last month:

[2] Erroneous Listings – In 2001 a respected teacher in northern California was erroneously identified as a sex offender on a public list. The teacher lost his job and even after exoneration was not allowed to pursue his career in that community. There have been several incidents throughout the country where men with similar names to sex offenders have been targeted by their neighbors. Reputations and livelihoods have been damaged. 
AUSTIN COUPLE VICTIM OF SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION MISHAP
An Austin couple want their neighbors to know they're not sex offenders -- even though a notice from the state might have suggested otherwise.The couple bought a home where a sex offender used to live, but because of a clerical mistake, it appeared the offender still lived there.
Registered sex offender Zamaripa is behind bars in the Travis County Jail as of Tuesday night. But a notice recently showed up in his old northeast Austin neighborhood warning that a sex offender has moved in. Instead, it's a young couple, and they're desperate to set the record straight.

Clint and Alexis Jurek just bought their first house and got ready to move in with baby, Max.  Then a post card came in the mail.

"All of our neighbors think that a sex offender lives at our address," says Alexis. "And not only that, but our house has been vandalized." 

Someone broke a door shortly after the notice showed up -- months past when the offender apparently left.

"Definitely worrisome," says Clint. "I have a five-month-old child that I have to move into the house in two or three weeks, and I can't move him into a place where there could be flying glass."

 

Notices are required by law -- as are verifications before mailing.
