There are seven registered sex offenders currently living in the LaGrange and LaGrange Park area, and one in Western Springs according to the Illinois Sex Offender Registry.

Three others are currently housed in the Kentucky Department of Corrections, according to the Sex Offender Registration Act.

Tate Madler, 45, of Western Springs, was originally listed as “non-compliant” with the state’s sex offender registration laws. Deputy Chief Brian Budds, of the Western Springs Police Department, said that Madler has been compliant since March 2014. A clerical error by the Western Springs police has been reported to the state and his information is being updated.

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, 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.
