Seekonk Sex Offender Map

Ahead of Halloween, a Seekonk map of the most dangerous sex offenders registered in 2016.

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

The Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board lists home and work information for those sex offenders with the highest "risk" of reoffending. Massachusetts has three classification levels for sex offenders, with Level 3 representing those most at risk to reoffend and Level 1 representing the least at risk to reoffend. Only information about Level 3 and Level 2 sex offenders is listed online.

"The degree of dangerousness posed to the public is such that a public safety interest is served by public availability of registration information,” the board said in a statement.
