Check the Sex Offender Registry Before Trick or Treating

(Undated) – Illinois Attorney General, Kwame Raoul, is reminding parents and guardians to check the state’s sex offender registry before finalizing Halloween plans. Illinois law bans all sex offenders who committed a crime against a child from distributing candy and participating in trick-or-treat events or other Halloween events involving children. As of this month, there were more than thirty-four-thousand registered sex offenders listed on the Illinois Sex Offender Registry, and more than twenty-seven-thousand of those committed a crime against a child. According to the registry, there are nearly one hundred registered sex offenders in Crawford County. Find a link to the registry below.
