Sex Offender Map: Fort Greene and Clinton Hill Homes to Be Aware of This Halloween

By RYAN BONNER

There are around 25 Level 2 and Level 3 registered sex offenders living in the Fort Greene and Clinton Hill area as of October 2015, according to the New York State Sex Offender Registry.

Markers on the map above represent addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Click on the markers to learn more information about the offender’s name, age and offense. The state’s registry does not include information on Level 1 sex offenders, who are considered to have a low risk of a repeat offense.

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 New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services maintains the registry and updates information regularly, but 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, or merely be aware of who’s living in your neighborhood during the rest of the year.
