Tampa City Council to hear report on concentration of sex offenders
Tampa City Council Members will study the findings of a report from the Tampa Police Department on Thursday about a high concentration of sex offenders living in a one-block stretch of Nebraska Avenue in the city’s V.M. Ybor neighborhood.
Tampa police officials say there are now 100 sex offenders living in V.M. Ybor, 76 of them with distance restrictions to schools, daycares, parks and other places children regularly congregate.
The stretch of Nebraska Avenue housing sex offenders is one of only three areas of the city where sex offenders can legally live while not violating any terms of probation or distance restrictions.
However, Tampa police in its report explained that recidivism rates in V.M. Ybor are no different than in other parts of the city where sex offenders live, and having sex offenders living in a more concentrated area helps police with enforcement as well as any offender checks required by law.
