I've written about this guy before...he's collecting disability for a bad back and shoulder but yet can go cut down trees and steal firewood from the people from MA that own the land behind us:flame:Same guy was stealing scrap metal from us and I confronted him in July which I also posted about. He poached 5 deer 2 years ago from behind our house and he's not supposed to own a weapon!

He was convicted of raping a 13yo and plea bargained for 3 years prison time about 12 years ago I think. He has had several girlfriends younger than he and one lady had a daughter in my son's class from k-4 grade that was doing naughty things with boys on the playground. That relationship didn't last and shortly after I was to supervise the "problem" older brother of the daughter in my son's class. I soon quit when the kid threatened my life. The younger brother is in Juvie. I saw him drop the kids off at school even, which is illegal.

Another lady my own age had a daughter in my son's class. The lady was my neighbor's step daughter. AND, she specifically told me face to face to not trust the sex offender brother. The males in the family say the offender is innocent, the charge the result of an ugly relationship ending...I don't buy it!
Anyway 3 years ago his 36yo GF had a baby girl and they all live in the next town from mine, which I'm pretty sure is illegal (Daddy living w/ daughter). He likes to bring the baby girl down to play with critters.

More info. this offenders son went to prison for 10 years on attempted murder charges at 19. The son got out of prison last year and has been WAY too friendly to me when he sees me. I always say well "My husband (this or that)" depending on conversation.

Now his mother(70yo) and his grandmother(90yo) also live next door and are very nice ladies whom I really enjoy and "help" as much as we can. Picking Grammy up off the floor or ground a lot lately. The son that lives there is barely ambulatory due to several strokes...once a heavy drinker. His mother said that "I've always had to watch (sex offender) around females" to me about 2 months ago.

So where am I going with all this? For 2 almost 3 weeks, the sex offender has been "living" next door. I've been checking...late at night, before dawn....frost on the windshield....he's leaving around 9am back by 7pm. He just registered in the next town over last month, on yearly check in....its online.

I have a 13yo and 7yo daughter, and the other neighbor has a 12yo, 8yo and 2yo girls.

I won't say what I'd like to do to him but would like some ideas in dealing with this and keep in mind the possible retribution factor.

I'd say you're on top of the situation the way it is. You've probably schooled your DDs to stay away from him, and you yourself keep an eye on when he's home, etc. Given the family history (violence, esp. from son) I would try and keep below the radar for the most part. I wouldn't want to make waves with that kind of family.

 

[MorrisonCorner]

I agree with Jennifer... it sounds like everyone is aware that there is an issue here. Presumably everyone has drilled their children in who to talk to and how to behave. At a certain point it sounds like this is not about the safety of you or the children around you, but about your sense of personal outrage that this person is seemingly allowed to flaunt the provisions laid down for his release. And the question is not "what do we need to do for our personal safety" but "do we get involved and demand this person abide by the rules he's supposed to live by?"

 

[mpillow]

He was 38yo and she was 13yo....he was the child's mother's BF at the time.

He's as slippery as a fish....

And yes I do have a personal gripe about it about consistent law breaking etc. I also don't like having to call my girls into the house and walking the neighbors girls back home when he is around.....my 7yo is very inappropriate with strangers because of attachment issues so I am always watching...but I just get madder and madder every time he plays by his own rules....the wood was not for him but to sell as was the deer meat!

 

[Maura]

Call his probation officer.

 

[JW Parker]

How does that go? SSS = SHOOT SHOVEL and SHUT-UP

 

[mama2littleman]

Call his probation officer.

Maura is right. That is the only thing you can do. If you are friendly with an of your local law enforcement officials, perhaps put a bug in their ears.

I'm with Maura. Call his probation officer and if the officer isn't out there pronto, call the supervisor. And keep calling until something happens. This guy is probably on a huge power trip from being able to do as he pleases.

Do I need to tell you what a tiny amount of time it would take to scar your girls for life? Call NOW.

 

[IAmSusan]

If he's registered online, did he register an accurate address? If not, that's a violation of the law, and his probie would love to hear about it.

 

[ELOCN]

I think you should jot down all the pertinent information and go to the Sheriff's Office and tell him about it.

 

[Mrs_stuart]

I think I would just post a big ol' sign in my front yard that says :
"NO PERVS ALLOWED" "violators will be shot"...

But then again, some people are not as direct as me.

I would call his probation officer, or the police and check in with them, it can't hurt and they usually "understand" and are willing to keep an eye out. I would also ask them if they could send an officer over for some "educations" or "self defense" class for your girls and the neighborhood girls...do the classes right out on the front lawn.
I sure feel for you.

I would absolutely call his probation officer. I would not tell the PO who I am - just that I am in the neighborhood or a friend of the family or something. I would only tell as much as I could without revealing something only you could know about. (Like the stealing of the scrap metal where you confronted him.) I would be concerned about his actions if he knew that YOU were the one to call.

I don't know that I would contact the PO; you cannot guaranty that the PO won't let the Felon know, directly or implied through the conversation, you were the one that contacted them. I would suggest calling the Sheriff's department with a question regarding his registration - some thing along the lines of: you have noticed that it appears he has moved in next door but his address is not changed on the website - do you "need" to be watching your children closer & specifically refer to the attachment issues of your 7 yo which concern you - they are now on notice both to his ?able registration address & that he is around children in violation of his parole. Let them do the investigation - from the sounds of it the sheriff's department/law enforcement are familiar with the family and will be more than willing to make a check on him.

 

[snowshoehair]

He is breaking the law by moving and not updating his “registration” or his probation officer of his whereabouts. You should be able to just call the law in your area and make it clear to them that you don’t want your name mentioned for fear of retribution.

Can you get some pictures with an accurate time and date stamp of him at the house… or a video tape? That could come in handy for you or if someone else needs proof that he is there. And that would go for anything he is not supposed to be doing like carrying a gun or cutting wood when he is supposed to be disabled.

Maybe knowing he is there is good enough for some, but it sounds like this is really bothering you to have him so close and I would bet you would rest much easier if he were to get his butt hauled out of there. Grammy might be lots better off without him in her house too…..

 

[zukgod]

Call his PO from a pay phone in town and give no name if you worry about it, I would. Or Use the 3 S.S.S. as mentioned before Shoot Shovel Shutup, JK of course but I would conside some form of self defence for your family, a conceled pistol, or even better open carry so he knows where you stand. Good luck stay safe.

 

[sancraft]

You've gotten good info already. This is so scray. I think I would contact the probation officer too, but not give my info. I would definately keep a tight leash on my girls and post a not trespassing sign and if your land is fenced, a locked gate. A nice, big, protective German Shepherd, Doberman or Rottie might help too.

I'm not sure if the Megans Law rules are nationwide or if they vary by state, but in PA, there are two levels of the registry-- sex offenders who are required to register for 10 years, and sexually violent predators who are required to register for life. So if his crime was 12 years ago, it's possible that his registration requirements have expired.

BUT, if he is still required to register, then YES, he can be busted for what he's doing (or failing to do, as the case may be). I've heard of plenty of registererd sex offenders who have been "violated" for failing to register their location, and often times get reincarcerated for such.

Contact his probation officer right away. If you don't know who his PO is, just call your county's probation department and they should be able to tell you-- there are no rights to confidentiality where parolees are concerned. Tell them you want him checked out, and you expect them to follow up with you re: the outcome. Take names of the people you talk to. If you don't get an answer within a few days, call the PO's supervisor. Call the county district attorney. Call the county commissioners. Call the local sheriff. In other words, BE THE SQUEAKY WHEEL.

Given the fact that it's on the probation department's head if this guy reoffends, I shouldn't think they'll delay in investigating him... trust me, PO's have a very low tolerance for sex offenders.

Precaution is better than ignorance. Good luck.

On the website there was contact info. I used it.

He just had residence verified Oct 2008 so I'm thinking he's a "lifer"
