2 Sex Offenders Live In Madison As Of Oct. 2020

MADISON, CT — There are 2 sex offenders living in Madison, according to the state Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection which maintains the registry. While information is updated, it can change quickly and is often provided by offenders themselves, as required by law.

Law enforcement officials and researchers caution that the registries play a limited role in preventing child sexual abuse and stress that most perpetrators are known to the child.

The U.S. Department of Justice, which oversees the National Sex Offender Public Website, estimates that only about 10 percent of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are strangers to the child.

The Justice Department estimates 60 percent of perpetrators are known to the child but are not family members but rather family friends, babysitters, child care providers and others, and 30 percent of child victims are abused by family members. Nearly a quarter of the abusers are under the age of 18, the department estimates.

Here is where the 2 sex offenders are registered as living in Madison according to the registry:

• MARK EMMONS 9 HATHAWAY LN
• MICHAEL ZAHORNACKY 23 BROOKVIEW TER
