Jessica’s Law - 44% increase in offenders authorities can’t locate
Parole agents are struggling to track homeless sex offenders in large part because of Jessica's Law restrictions.
He admits he is a convicted sex offender, but "Bill" did not want to reveal his real name or his sex crime. He did, however, want to speak out about the restrictions of Jessica's Law. "It's not good, for me and it's not good for the public," he said.
Under the provisions of the voter-approved Jessica's Law, convicted sex offenders may not live within 2,000 feet of any school or park. "That leaves very few places for offenders to live," said California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokesman Gordon Hinkle.
