The town of sexual criminals
USA | Thursday, 21 May 2015 | Views [105] | Scholarship Entry
There is a place in Florida where more than 100 sex offenders live. “Miracle Village” is a little town outside of Pahokee built in 2009 to minister people sentenced for sexual crimes. Florida’s sex offender registration laws, indeed, prohibit them from living within a certain distance of places where children gather, such as schools, parks, and places of worship. So offenders may be unable to find available housing in populated areas, in some cases ending up homeless (and with increasing chances to commit the same crimes). It would be very interesting to tell real life in “Miracle village” and to report some stories (people who live there are not all rapist: somebody, for instance, was sentenced for having consenting sex with an underage girl).
