Homeless sex offender listed intersection near middle school as his address
ORLANDO, Fla. – The sexual offender registry is designed to help residents know where sexual offenders live.
Channel 9 found out that within a 1-mile radius of Lake Eola Park, there are twice as many homeless sexual offenders as there are sexual offenders living in permanent residences.
“You’ve got to have a way to keep track of them,” Orlando resident Larry McIntyre said. “If you have no residence, how can you keep track of the sex offender?”

Listen up I went in to rereg today and there was a deputy there besides the woman doing the reg he said fdle told the countys that 800 rso,s don’t have dna profiles and they are “asking /requesting “rso.,s to voluntary give dna samples I politely and friendly declined and refused him to my attorney as well as the aclu
GOOD!!!
Regarding SO in Florida. The Registry has names of deceased SO, if a person moves the name stays on the registry. This SO registry is not working. Most sex crimes are committed by a small circle of family, friends and not from anyone on the registry. To have EVERY Sex Offender register no matter what the charge is not the answer. A sex offender who has harmed a child or person should be on a registry. If they have NOT harmed anyone then why are they put on the registry? Common Sense should tell all of us that most sex crimes are committed by a person who is a family member or friend, someone the victim knows. Too much fear is being shown when there really isn’t any fear there.
Karen the registry shouldnt exist at all. At least not for the public. Saying one crime is better than another is nonsense. I have a non contact crime but I dont think someone with a contact crime should have to suffer once they have served their sentence.
Registery doesn’t help anyone anymore alot of court papers state they aren’t dangerous to anyone so there’s some judges didn’t feel they are dangous to anyone no one is safe even some that were put on are false accusation got killed by family member of the accuser officers are killing themself. .when they hear of any type of sex accusation against them
Some people use the registry to look up, find, locate some of us, and come to our house and beat us, knowing we are not allowed to own a weapon. I had someone come to my door and threaten to come in my house, I opened the door and showed them Bruno my 170 lb dog and I told the guy ” My dog does not listen to me so if I were to let go of him, you are on your own”. He left.
Also a tip, do like I did and get a camera on your front door that records. After getting that, I stand right by it while the officer checking on me speaks with me so he / she knows they are being recorded. Bonus is, it is stored on the alarm companies servers so they cannot come on my house and erase anything if they are abusive to me. Luckily the officer I have had for the past two years (for address verification ) is super cool, except the one time I was not home and he hung a huge yellow banner on my front door stating why he had been there. That was not good you could see it a mile away.
Yes, the registry is evil and dangerous. How did this ever get implemented in the first place?
Like we tell everyone they don’t care they want people to violate so they can put back in just like internet sex sting ada said at sentencing hearing i want him on registery to make a example out of him not everyone is dangerous predators and their victims know each other check news out 2 day care what happen under their care one 4 month old just died a 3 year old left outside my their self for hours so who must you keep your children safe from
I just love that stupid comment, “You’ve got to have a way to keep track of them.” Police know my address, but it’s not as if I am on house arrest. I am free to come and go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I watched a news reporter in Michigan on TV as she accompanied a state police officer on routine address checks for sex offenders. She was in shock at one point when it appeared that no one was home at one of the addresses, and asked the officer if an arrest warrant was going to be issued. The officer had to explain to her that registrants are not required to be at their home 24 hours a day. The public has been fooled by scare tactics into believing that registries make the community safe, when the reality is that the last thing most registrants want to do is ever go through the hell of prosecution, incarceration, and shaming again.
Exactly, if anything it hides the VERY few sexual predators who ARE dangerous, the MOST dangerous sex offenders are the ones who have never been charged, much LESS those on the registry. It’s a scam.
Just follow the money and see who’s living fat off the privatized prison system.
How many considered ‘predators’ are really predators. I am a predator in Florida because of my failure in Virginia nearly 20 years ago that involved my daughter. By the way, in Virginia I was not considered a predator. We have since reconciled and have a very good relationship. I am no more a predator than ‘the man in the moon’. Only in the twisted minds of some Florida legislators could I be considered a predator. I can provide the names of at least 100 kids I have dealt with in the past years and I am sure they would not support that title as applying to me. Florida seems to have the propensity for looking for the very worse in individuals and focusing on that as though that individual has never done an honorable act in his/her entire life. We used to call that the ‘thermodynamic effect’…passing the heat to someone else to get it off of ones self. I can’t help but wonder how many politicians are doing that.
We must be careful not to put too many requirements on the politicians, it might blow their minds…assuming they have minds left to blow. They want it both way…homeless SO’s living on the street yet having a residence where they can be kept track of. I am reminded of a comment by Churchill…True failure is failing, becoming comfortable in that failure, and then continuing to fail. This must make sense to the Floriduh politicians since it is the philosophy they seem to cling to.
