Sex offenders have always been in our communities. There is no typical sex offender. Stereotypes often are not true. Most offenders are known to victims and are often put in a position of trust with their victim. Parents should be cautious about people who spend a lot of time with children in the absence of other adults or who spend more time with children than with other adults. They should also be aware of a person that frequently wants to take their child alone on vacations or other trips.

No. Only sex offenders who are “still on paper” (supervision via probation or parole). Sex offenders who are “off paper” (e.g., have completed their supervision) are considered regular citizens unless they engage in unlawful activities again.

If the person is on supervision (parole/probation), call the Department of Correctional Services (see above). If the individual is not on supervision, there is nothing you can do. However, being drunk in public and possession of drugs are both illegal activities. Citizens could report such offenses to the police who could then arrest the person on those charges, unrelated to their status as a sex offender.
