Sex Offender Addresses: Somers Homes to be Aware of This Halloween

SOMERS, CT — Patch is offering a look at who is among the registered sex offenders living locally as of October 2016, according to the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry.

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 younger than 12.

The Connecticut Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection maintains the registry and updates information regularly, but information can change quickly.
