Posted: 11:24 am EST December 20, 2009
ATLANTA — Officials have no idea where nearly 250 metro Atlanta sex offenders are.The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports nearly one-tenth of the area’s registered sex offenders who are not in jail are listed as “absconded.”
That means law enforcement authorities has lost track of them, despite a strict law intended to keep such offenders under close supervision and away from potential victims.John Bankhead is a spokesman for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which maintains the sex offender registry.
He said the long list of people on the registry are not the ones to be concerned about. He said the concern lies mostly with unspotted predators not yet on the list.
