Sex Offender Addresses: Lyme Homes To Be Aware Of This Halloween

Editor's Note: One or more names in this report have been redacted in light of additional documentation provided regarding this case.

According to the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry, there are two sex offenders living in Lyme, 11 in East Lyme and four in Old Lyme, as of October 2016.

More than half of rape/sexual assault incidents happen within a mile of the victim’s home, according to the United States Department of Justice. About 75 percent of victims know their attacker and 45 percent of victims are under 12-years-old.

The Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection maintains the registry and updates information regularly, but that information can change quickly. Information is often provided by offenders themselves as required by law.

You may want to avoid trick or treating at these houses and apartments on Halloween and be aware of who’s living in your neighborhood during the rest of the year.

CT State Police also posted the following warning in regards to the registry:

“ANY PERSON WHO USES INFORMATION IN THIS REGISTRY TO INJURE, HARASS OR COMMIT A CRIMINAL ACT AGAINST ANY PERSON INCLUDED IN THE REGISTRY OR ANY OTHER PERSON IS SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.”
