Manhattan 2017 Sex Offender Safety Map

MANHATTAN, IL — Before kids go out trick or treating on Halloween, fall is a good time to take inventory of who is living in your neighborhood. Manhattan has eight registered sex offenders listed on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, seven of whom are classified as sexual predators.

The map below does not include Christian I. Walz, who is listed as living out of state. Anthony S. Shiner, who is listed on the map below, is also listed as non-compliant.

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 or 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, date of birth, 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.
