New Megan's Law website -check to see if any sex offenders

[Bunny]

live in your town. They don't give out street addresses unless the person is a violent offender. But there are pictures, and you can search by county, zip code, etc.

5. ??????????

I can't get to a page where I enter a zip code. What am I doing wrong?

[Bunny]

6. On the upper left hand side of the page, there's a Search menu

where you can click on city, county, zip code, name, or alias. See if that works.

9. Ack, we have two.

That was creepy, considering one was an offense against a child.

On edit: double ack, I looked up the other one, and he's one street over from us.

11. 42 in my zip code. Lucky me.

:scared: :wow:

13. Yow - where was that?

I thought Penn Hills had a lot at 20!

[Dropkick]

14. In the middle of the city...

...including East Liberty, which explains it a little, but still :scared: !!!

[RPM]

15. yeah - it is scary

these are only the folks who are released into the population too, right?

[anti_shrub]

12. 10 in my zip code

That's a lot when you think that even though my zip is shared by one small suburb and half of a large one, 9 out of 10 come from the small suburb.

16. Site doesn't work for me :(

Perhaps its my Japanese domain?

17. People in Prison Also Show Up on List

People who have been convicted and are in prisons or state hospitals show up in the zip codes for the locations of the prisons or state hospitals. That is why, for example, Norristown has so many - because they have a State Hospital and a County Prison.
