Wheaton currently has 52 registered sex offenders listed on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry.

Eighteen are currently living in the community, 28 are incarcerated in the Illinois Department of Corrections or DuPage County Jail.

Authorities say that four sex offenders are homeless and two are missing. All six are considered “sex 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 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.

The DuPage County Sheriff’s Department also maintains a registry, where DuPage County residents can search for offenders living in their area.
