301 offenders, 63 non-mappable. Not a surprise, because the neighborhood gets iffy a few blocks away. None on our immediate block, 3 green offenders within a few blocks.. Not far enough away, lol. If/when we move to my parents' house, there's no one in the immediate area.
We have one diagonal from us. Our insurance agent's secretary is his aunt. She said that he is weird and not to make friends with him, but that is not related to his sex offender status. When he was 18, he dated a girl that was underage. Her parents ended up pressing charges when they found out she was pregnant.
I know that people look down on all sex offenders, but I sorta feel bad for the guy. He is in his late 30s and still having to deal with the consequences for something that he did right after he turned 18. Like within a few months of turning 18. Does the law really expect you to break up until the other person is old enough to consent even if they had been dating for a long time?
I know someone who hog in trouble for this same kind of situation. I dont see what he did as a true crime. The girl was 15 and her parents pressed charges when they found out he was 18. I dated an 18 yo when I was 15, so I feel terrible for the guy. It's something he will deal with for the rest of his life. It sucks. He is a decent person.

1136 Offenders 266 Non-mappable Offenders
That includes part of VA, MD and DC though so a pretty varied area. There is a VERY large concentration near the air force base. I am surprised by that!
If I look at the couple blocks by my house it is
67 Offenders 14 Non-mappable Offenders
The closest one is a violent sex offender, rape
Ugh, there are at least 8 child sex offenders within a mile radius. Depressing.
There are only a handful within my town and none within a half mile of my house. There is one guy who committed a sexual crime against a minor when he was 15 himself.
None within blocks, but within a mile or two are three. One is a Lurch-looking character that gives me the heebies, 57 years old with a 1993 conviction for first degree child molestation (has or causes another under the age of 18 to have sexual contact with a child under 12); number two is a 37 year old who looks happy to be having his picture taken, with a 1999 conviction for rape of a child (intercourse with a child between 12-14 years of age); the third is a seventeen year old kid with a 2008 conviction for indecent liberties with children (touching with the intent to arouse or appease sexual urges with a child over 14 but under 16. I wonder if this was a boyfriend/girlfriend case gone bad and the kid now has to pay for it since it doesn't specify.)
Apparently there is a rapist just around the corner. Fantastic.
I just mentioned this to H and he said he and his friend (who lives in our neighborhood with his wife and daughter) looked this up when we all decided to move here (within a few months of each other) and they are mindful while the girls are out.
