We are moving and as always before moving I check the sex offender registry. Thankfully there are no child criminals in our area, not for several miles. But there is one man, who was charged with a non child sexual battery.

What could this mean? He got too rough on a date? Groped a girl in the work place?

I would like to know what, but the site didn't give anymore information.

Without actually asking the offender about it your not going to know unless you might be able to get court records if there are any. Sexual battery may be part of a plea bargin and you won't get any details that way.

Thank you calif

First while registery is good, many never register and one could move in tomorrow. So always assume there is one across the street.

It could be anything, it would have been a rapist that did a plea deal for a lesser charge, Without pulling up their court case, or asking them you will not know.
It could be a date that went a little to far and boy did not want to accept no, or it could be someone jumped a person in a park.

Thanks chuck.
I would never assume a neighborhood is 100% safe based on the registry alone. My daughter never goes anywhere without me anyway. But its nice to know if there are any known offenders in the area.

Most child sex offenders don't work where they live often, they go to parks, playgrounds, outside of school yards. They will go to where kids are at.

We would catch some on at college ( not child molestors since these were 18 plus year old girls) but they would be watching them from the car or bushes, and doing a private sex act while watching

That is so scary I don't even want to think about it. I am so glad we are finally getting a house and ayla can play in the back yard when I can't take her to the park myself
