100s of Georgia Sex Offenders Removed from Registry




(Atlanta, Georgia) According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, 809 convicted sex offenders have been removed from the state's sex offender registry in the last 15 months.

Tracy Alvord, the Executive Director of Georgia's Sex Offender Review Board, admits most people have no idea they may have a convicted sex offender living right next door, next to their child's bus stop or by their school.

"They are no longer being monitored in any kind of way, so they can do whatever they want to do," said Alvord.

Once these offenders are removed from the registry, there is no way to track them, and no one is watching what they are doing.

Although judges directed the removals for a variety of reasons, it's not clear that anything inappropriate occurred. Nevertheless, the story is presented with a sense of serious concern and, arguably, alarm.
