[quote=Anonymous]Several years ago, we experienced something similar.   We put an offer on a house, and then remembered to check the SO registry--and there was one on the next street over.

After a few hours of stress, we ultimately decided to buy the house anyway.

We've lived here a few years, and of course have spoken to neighbors about the situation.   Honestly, I have less fear of this sex offender that I know is there, then the possible sex offenders that could be anywhere in my community.   This guy is a known sex offender and the whole neighborhood knows it, and watches.

FWIW, several months ago, I checked out the SO registry again--and a new one had popped up.   He's been living here the whole time, apparently, but was only recently convicted.   So just because you buy in a neighborhood with no local registered  SOs, doesn't mean that one won't move in or someone might be convicted at a later date.

Also, about a year ago, a guy right on my street was arrested for a sex crime against minors.  He ended up selling his house and moving with a couple months of the arrest, though.[/quote]
