Washington State isn’t quite this bad,
Sex offenders found to bypass residency laws
Analysis: Many area schools have criminals living too close
Loren Underwood and his wife, Catherine, were convicted in 1997 of having sex with an underage girl. Having served more than a year in jail, they’re now living in an upstairs apartment within 1,000 feet of not one, but two East Toledo schools. Boys and girls pass underneath their living room window every school day.
That’s illegal under Ohio’s law that prohibits sex offenders from living so close to a school.
It’s also not unusual.
In fact, one in four of Lucas County’s more than 600 registered sex offenders live within 1,000 feet of a school, according to a Blade analysis.
“There’s a whole lot of sex offenders and not a whole lot of area,” said Lucas County Deputy Ernie Lamb, who for seven years has knocked on doors to verify sex offenders are living where they say they are.
Here in Washington, if I remember correctly, the government doesn’t know where approximately 20% of the sex offenders even are.
Mostly this is because sex offenders are legally allowed to register as ‘homeless’ once they are released.
