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.

The lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed Friday, according to Kane County court records and their attorney, Adele Nicholas, who credited the Kane County state’s attorney’s office with giving the 18 men time to move instead of arresting and essentially evicting them.

    The Wayside Cross is a church. This law prevents the people from receiving the religious services they choose to reintegrate into society. It sets a precedent that an RSO can be prevented by a law to attend religious services even when the religious institution invites him. Now read the First Amendment.

      Roger, and the politician lawmaker said…”What’s the first amendment?”
      We would not want to overload them with facts and the constitution.

    What residency restriction cases are currently being tried or have been decided that affect any part or all of Florida at the State or Federal level?

    I have a hard time finding logic in the application of a completely arbitrary distance standard because it cannot possibly be based on any facts on hand. Shouldn’t this be an easy one to win in the courts?
