Can't get away from it
If you think the sex offender registry should help you to keep your distance, think again: the St. Petersburg Times found 9 out of 10 people in the Tampa Bay area live within a half mile of a sex offender. With 2600 offenders in the area, it's hard to get away. No wonder there are tragedies. I expect an analysis of other areas -- such as South Florida -- would show similar numbers.
