Too much information!

It took most of the day, but I finally finished looking at each and every registered sex offender posted on the new Megan’s Law website. There are 1,011 people in Bakersfield on the list and since I’ve lived here all my life, I figured the chances were pretty good I might know one of them. I am happy to report I do not.

Here’s what I learned…

Twenty-two of the sex offenders were women (give or take one or two I may have missed.) Out of those only one woman was charged with rape. Eeewww.

A large number of the men had the name ‘Dale’ as either a first or middle name. I have an uncle whose middle name is Dale and I am now afraid of him.

There is a man named Vince Vaughn living in Oildale who like to molest children. He looks nothing like the actor.

There is a convicted rapist with a mental disorder living one block away from me.

205 of the 1,011 are in violation of their registratoin requirements. Which means they could be lord knows where.

Los Angeles County has 11,568 on its list, San Diego has 2,974, Sacramento has 2,508 and San Francisco has 935.

Oh yeah – and Fresno has 1,634, which is another good reason to like Bako more.
