I HAD a sex offender living next door to me. When I got the card in the mail telling me he had moved in I FREAKED!!!!! Sex offenders have to be registered but they are all not bad. My neighbor spent time in jail, he was 20 she was 15 PS they were boyfriend, girlfriend but according to the law he was a sex offender. This happened 10 years ago, he will have to register the rest of his life that he is a sex offender and the girl is now his wife.
