California - A registered sex offender spotted this week near the home of one of his victims might be forbidden to enter the entire neighborhood, if state officials get their way. A spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said families of victims who want to be notified about a parolee’s release need to file a formal request for such notification. A Canyon Country mother complained Wednesday she didn’t receive notice from the state when a convicted sex offender was released from prison over the weekend. The Corrections Department spokesman said the agency received no request to notify her, but it may succeed in having her neighborhood declared off limits to the pedophile convicted last year of preying on church-going boys. “We are looking into the possibility of using a separate law regarding public safety to make that entire neighborhood an exclusion zone,” said Corrections spokesman Luis Patino. On Tuesday, a Tumbleweed Way resident whose son was victimized made a frantic call to the mother of a second victim telling her she spotted registered sex offender William Greggory Babb on her street. Babb, 50, is required to wear a GPS monitor at all times, and the area around the church had been set as an exclusionary zone from the beginning of Babb’s parole, Patino noted Thursday. Read More. |
