Beverly-Morgan Park 2015 Halloween Sex Offender Safety Map

 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.

The Illinois Sex Offender Registration Act requires sex offenders to register with their local police department, including when they change their address, school and vehicle.

They must do so for a required 10-year registration period, unless they are separately required to register for life. Offenders are also prohibited from living within 500 feet of a school, daycare center, youth center or other facility that caters to children younger than 18 years old.

Currently, there 20 registered sex offenders living in the Beverly-Morgan Park community, 12 of whom are categorized as sexual predators.

Convicted sex offender Donald Lucious, 57, shows up as “location unknown.” Lucious has convictions for registering false information, failure to report a change of address/employment, and aggravated criminal sexual assault. At the time of his offense Lucious was 35, his victim was 19.

Anthony Durant, 36; Charles McFee, 34; Darrell F. Wright, 58, and Theodore Williams, 52, and William Washington, 71, are homeless. All but Washington are considered sexual predators.

Registered sex offenders are prohibited from passing out candy on Halloween. They may not appear in a Halloween costume or other child-centered holiday character, such as Santa and the Easter Bunny, in public. Registered sex offenders, however, may wear a Halloween costume in their home, according to the Illinois Sex Offender Registry.

Pins on the map represent addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Roll your cursor over the pins, and you will see more information pop up, including the registered sex offender’s name, address, current age, convictions, and the age of the offender and victim at the time of the offense.

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.
