IL: Lawsuit dismissed after sex offenders living at Aurora ministry find new homes
Sex offenders who sued to stay at the Wayside Cross Ministries halfway house in downtown Aurora after a judge ruled it is too close to a playground have dropped their litigation after all of them found alternative housing.
