What is the name of your state? Florida
I think this is the right forum for this.
We recently discovered through the Florida sexual offender registry that a person renting a home in our community was convicted of statutorily rape in Tenn. I wanted to find out exactly what had happened prior to saying anything to our neighbors. Before I could get any information (which was like pulling teeth since it was in another state) another neighbor also saw the web site and printed flyers and passed them out on the actual street this man lives on (not all 130 homes) Anyhow, I call and finally got the clerk of the courts in the county he was convicted in they lady read the paperwork to me and told me it was a 13 yr old and he had pled guilty to aggravated rape, I was outraged and did not know what to do. I was hoping to find out she was 17 and her parents got mad that she was seeing an older man ect. This happened in '98 and he was 30 at the time. The home he is living in is also occupied by a woman and her 3 children who have their friends coming in and out of the home all the time I think our entire neighborhood needs to know what this man did but I don't want to violate his rights either. I know that the parents of the visiting children have no idea who their children are encountering when they visit his home, I have young children and I would want someone to inform me. I understand that this man has served him time is now allowed to live in society but I am still afraid statically he might do the same thing again and I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened and I did not inform these people of the information I have. What would you do?
