You already live near sex offenders. You just don't have to know it.

Another state, but the youth soccer coach who was my neighbor as a child sexually abused me and it never went to court. So I lived next to an UNregistered sex offender for years, and all those kids he coached were coached by a pedophile with no requirement to disclose. A tiny fraction (like 1%) of sexual crimes go to court and result in a conviction (less than 1%) that requires registering as a sex offender. Basic math says 99% of sex offenders are wandering free without being on any list.

These laws are important but let people lose the forest for the trees.
