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

MANCHESTER, CT — Manchester has 103 registered sex offenders living within the town limits.

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.

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.

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.”
