Scary
Here - have yourself a scare.

We have one several miles from our house. Oddly enough, we're relieved that he targets adult women, rather than children.
Of course I worry about people being wrongly convicted...but some of these people have five or more convictions for assaulting and raping children. They should NOT have been released, ever.
Incidentally, one of my co-workers was in the process of buying a house. He looked up his new address on the site and found TWENTY-SEVEN sex offenders within two miles of his house, and three literally occupying the same spot - we can only assume that every single one of his next-door neighbors is a molester or rapist. Even more horrifying, the nearby playground has a CLUSTER of convicted molesters living right next door.
He has kids. He cancelled the sale.

...and pretty useless in its mapping since it shows the locale of only 1 of 7 offenders in cambridge, and their database is not up to date according to their discalimers. I know I wouldn't make any living place choices based on it.

Weird.
