East Greenwich's 2019 Sex Offender Safety Map

EAST GREENWICH, RI — Before kids go out trick or treating on Halloween, fall is a good time to take an inventory of who is living in your neighborhood. East Greenwich has 13 registered sex offenders living in the community, according to the Rhode Island Sex Offender Registry.

All of the sex offenders in East Greenwich are Level 2, meaning they have a moderate risk of re-offending and pose a moderate degree of danger to the public.

The offenders are not wanted by police, and it's illegal to use the following information to commit a crime or engage in any discrimination or harassment against an offender.

Law enforcement officials and researchers caution that the registries can play only a limited role in preventing child sexual abuse and stress that most perpetrators are known to the child.

The U.S. Department of Justice, which oversees the National Sex Offender Public Website, estimates that only about 10 percent of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are strangers to the child.

The Justice Department estimates 60 percent of perpetrators are known to the child but are not family members but rather family friends, babysitters, child care providers and others, and 30 percent of child victims are abused by family members. Nearly a quarter of the abusers are under the age of 18, the department estimates.
