Over 1,700 convicted sex offenders lost track of by Massachusetts Registery
An audit that was released today has found that the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry has lost track of more than 1,700 convicted sex offenders.
Auditor Suzanne Bump found that the registry lacks adequate policies and procedures to make sure that sex offenders are classified in a timely manner.
The Democratic Bump says the audit found that as of February, the sex offender registry lacked current addresses for 1,769 sex offenders. 936 of them had never even been classified at all. More than 300 of those individuals had been convicted of crimes against children.
Laws and regulations that govern the agency’s classification process is being blamed for the issue.
