Watchdog: Sex Offenders In Nursing Homes A Real Threat
SAN JOSE, Feb. 2, 2005--Hundreds of sexual predators are living in nursing homes across the country and there are no special security measures being taken to protect other residents from them.
The San Jose Mercury News reported Monday that a study conducted last summer found 380 registered sex offenders living in 289 nursing and long-term care facilities in 37 states. In California, 89 registered sex offenders on parole from state prisons are currently living in nursing homes and care facilities.
