Can a sex offender live next to a school or with children?
The Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) does not limit where a sex offender can live. However, if the sex offender is on parole or probation, the terms of the offender’s parole or probation may limit where he or she can live. Additionally, there may be local laws in a particular county, town or village limiting where a registered sex offender may live or travel. For information regarding local laws, it is recommended that you contact the county, town or village in which you are interested.
