I can guarantee there is more than 1 sex offender in Gardner, Ma. 1 is my mother's friend's grandson, another lived downstairs from a friend and one more lives 2 houses down from me. There was a couple dozen not too long ago, hardly think they left town (though would be nice)

Same goes for Fitchburg, where it is implausible that only 1 SO lives in that cesspool of a town.

Please fix this.

The state website lists more than twenty. I think city-data is using faulty data and should either get rid of the feature entirely or better ensure that it is accurate.

The state website has been changed or is under construction. It now lists how many level 2 and level 3 live and work in each town. It no longer lists the names and addresses or shows pictures of the offenders. It is useless without this information available to the public.

What is the point then? Not listing the offenders name and picture sounds like a left over PC liberal ideal from the Patrick administration to somehow protect the offender from further embarrassment and possible discrimination.

I'm able to find names and pictures of offenders who either live or work within a certain radius of my address.
