Summary
I am concerned by the recent arrest of an out-of-state sex offender in Ellsworth. The man, who had been arrested at least twice in his home state of Indiana, was caught taking photographs of children at a popular swimming hole. Police found that he had not registered with the local police as a sex offender, even though he had been in the area for at least three weeks.
Current Maine law requires sex offenders to register with local authorities within two weeks of arriving in Maine. I believe this puts our children at risk and allows potential predators to operate without any supervision for far too long. As a deputy sheriff, I know that the sex-offender registry allows law enforcement professionals, as well as concerned members of the community, to keep an extra vigilant eye on these convicted criminals.See the full content of this document
