Parole department places sex offenders in local motel
A tipline caller recently contacted 29-Eyewitness News over concerns that several sex offenders were living at a motel together. We contacted parole who tell us they know about it and they are involved in the process. 29-Eyewitness News reporter Amity Addrisi uncovered a unique new strategy at dealing with the problem of housing and tracking sex offenders.
Jessica's and Megan's law were passed to protect children from convicted and registered sex offenders. They prohibit them from living or hanging out near schools and parks, where children are. With those restrictions finding a place to put sex offenders is a constant problem.
