My wife did a search a couple of years ago on one of the free links and found that a guy leasing a house just across the street from ours was a registered sex offender...he molested a 9-year old girl...our daughter was 9 back then!

The thing was, he was prosecuted and did time almost a decade ago, so it may have been water under the bridge. Still, my wife alerted the rest of the neighborhood, and the first action was to move the school bus stops (which the first was in front of his house).

This guy lived with his girlfriend and mom, and pretty much kept to himself. Fortunately they moved out about a month later when their house construction was completed.

People usually profile a sex offender as some dirty homeless-looking drug and alcohol-addicted freak! But we live in a nice neighborhood, and the home he was renting was a pricey one. The house he finished building was even more expensive! And the few times I saw him puttering around the garage, he would have blended in well with the rest of the community.
