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

Before kids go out trick or treating on Halloween, fall is a good time to take inventory of who is living in your neighborhood.

SIMSBURY, CT — There are six registered sex offenders living in Simsbury 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 under 12 years old.

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.
