Sex Offender Map: Sayville, B-BP Homes to Be Aware of This Halloween

There are five Level 2 and Level 3 registered sex offenders living within Sayville-Bayport-Blue Point as of October 2016, according to the New York State Sex Offender Registry.

Four of those offenders live in Sayville and one lives in Blue Point.

Markers on the map above represent addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Click on the markers to learn more information about the offender’s name, age and offense. The state’s registry does not include information on Level 1 sex offenders, who are considered to have a low risk of a repeat offense.

There are 24 sex offenders living nearby in Patchogue. See that map here.

More than half of rape/sexual assault incidents happen within a mile of the victim’s home, according to the United States Department of Justice. About 75 percent of victims know their attacker and 45 percent of victims are under 12-years-old.

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services maintains the registry and updates information regularly, but information can change quickly. Information is often provided by offenders themselves as required by law.

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.
