"Nearly 1,800 Massachusetts sex offenders did not have a current address on file with the state’s registry, and close to 1,000 of those convicted criminals had not been classified by their likelihood to reoffend, according to an audit released Tuesday by state Auditor Suzanne M. Bump.

The state Sex Offender Registry Board neglected to verify addresses with agencies in the state’s executive branch — such as the departments of Revenue and Transitional Assistance — despite having agreements with those agencies to use their data to confirm addresses, and being required by law to do so, the audit found, according to a statement from Bump’s office.

The audit covered the period from July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016."

Massachusetts coddles them. No bracelets, allowed to live near schools, "harassment" (broadly defined) is a crime, etc. There are a number of them where I live. It makes me sick.

They admit it that they don't think sex abuse is a serious incident. Why are they in charge of anything? Wonder when the sheeple read this stuff, how do they process it?

Kate Furry shows via words and pictures why her clients should be removed from the registery - I'd like to hear what BS and images she comes up with...

Oh cool, 1800 sex offenders that people can kill and get away with it since the pervs are unaccounted for right?

Remember looking into North Carolina child sex offenders few yrs back

Was surprised to see a lot of offenders that came from other states

Might have to take a look again

I can just imagine how many missing in other states

Different states have different sex offender registration requirements, so offenders migrate to states with more lenient rules.

They migrate yes, to more lenient states and also to states with warmer weather where kids can be out and playing all year round. Also, where there is no statute of limitations. That is why have been saying we must have a National Age of Consent. None of this one state has this and one has that. It caters to the evilness of the sex offenders.

"The audit said the agency did not consider sexual abuse as something that rose to the level of "critical incident," and that's why agency officials did not report those 118 cases to the Office of the Child Advocate during the period of the audit.

Sexual abuse of a minor is not a critical incident? These people need to be investigated. Only a child abuser would think that way.

Exactly. They obviously were never molested or know anyone who has been. If they did, they would k ow how utterly damaging it is for a child and it doesn't go away

These people need to be hung high! OUTRAGEOUS!

The state Sex Offender Registry Board neglected to verify addresses

Shocking. Not. Maybe those people need to be investigated for ties to child trafficking.

Absolutely. ASAP. Residents rely on those lists.

Prospective homebuyers and renters also do.

If lists are bogus... what use are they?

You know what I just thought of?

Lawyers representing convicted sex molesters of minors could be paying someone or

something to KEEP their clients or get their clients OFF THE LISTS.

Sad that there are criminal lawyers in practice these days.

Here's one example of a former Registry Board member now helping sex offenders seeking termination of requirement to register:

http://www.kateframelaw.com/Sex-Crime-Defense/Reclassification/Petition-To-Terminate-Process.shtml

"Attorney Kate Frame knows what the SORB members are looking for because she served on the board for years. She voted on petitions to terminate and has a clear understanding of how the SORB functions and the complexities therein. Kate Frame takes every step necessary to show the board, via words, pictures and other useful tools that you are a great candidate for registry termination.

According to widely accepted research that the SORB will consider if offered by your attorney, a sex offender's risk for re-offending decreases after the age of 40. The rate at which it drops can vary depending on the type of offense. However at age 60, the risk decreases significantly and at age 70, risk is nearly zero.

Kate Frame is prepared to use the research and information necessary to educate the SORB on your life and how it has changed since your conviction. She will carefully and diligently pursue an outcome that supports your best interests and a brighter future for you and your family."
