He also is a lifetime registrant of the Sex Offender Registration Program.

If his crime was committed, and he was convicted in Jefferson County.. then why are we in Rock County. I could have sworn I read somewhere in the State Statues that, "they (sex offenders) are suppose to be released back to the community where they were convicted." Did I miss the memo, and that's no longer the case?
