sex offenders suing

5/31/2006 - Molester Ban

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- A half-dozen sex offenders, including convicted child molesters and rapists, are suing Indianapolis because the city has barred them from being near parks, pools and playgrounds when children are present.

The plaintiffs contend a new law violates their rights to vote and attend church, and prevents them from freely using roads that may pass within a thousand feet of children's play areas.

An attorney for the city says officials plan to defend the ordinance, saying what's most important is protection for kids.

The ordinance includes an exception that lets sex offenders visit the pools and play areas as long as they're with another adult who has not been convicted of a sex crime.

The six are being represented in federal court by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana.

hey Shell, Michigan just passed a law that requires a MINIMUM 25 year sentence for crimes involving children under 13 AND a tether when parolled.

Progress is slow, but it is being made.
