Too true. I think I was told it was so many feet, 500 ?, that they had to live away from a school. If it is a child sex offender the rules were a bit different? I really need to check again on that. There was an offender living by my children's school -very close- and I had to call awhile back. I believe I was told that since his victim was not a minor he was allowed to live there BUT that the police were keeping an eye on him.
Here's another Waukegan sex offender offending. Do they have a three-strike policy? This guy was out on bail and acts up. Hopefully he will be put away for a long time.
Registered sex offender charged with exposing himself at Gurnee pool
Tribune staff report
August 5, 2009
A registered sex offender allegedly exposed himself to young girls at a Gurnee pool last week, officials said.
Jeffrey Sonderman, 53, fled the Hunt Club Park Aquatic Center, 900 N. Hunt Club Rd., after allegedly exposing himself through his swimsuit to at least four young girls just before 4 p.m. on Friday, Gurnee Police Cmdr. Jay Patrick said. He was found at a motel in Waukegan about 5:25 p.m. and was taken into custody after a short foot chase, Patrick said. Sonderman's last known address was in the 8000 block of Kostner Avenue in Skokie, and he failed to register as a sex offender in Waukegan, where he is believed to be living, Patrick said.
Sonderman -- who is out of jail on bail for similar acts -- was charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a child, being a child sex offender in a public park, violation of the sex offender registration act, public indecency and resisting arrest, Patrick said.
